Maltese activists this year held a book launch event to coincide with IDAHOT 2016. Held on May 17, the launch of Ulienda Rigal, also invited the local community to come together with an author talk and the chance to meet, network and discussion issues including discrimination within the LGBT community.
The book itself was launched with support of local LGBT group Drachma, and focuses on the LGBT community in Malta, and the issues faced by them.
The launch also featured a prayer and vigil issued for the victims of LGBT-related violence both in Malta and across the world.
