Malta: Small islands, big issues for Europe (Part 2)

We ask why Malta is the only EU state where abortion is illegal in all circumstances, despite the fact that approximately 300 women terminate pregnancies in Malta each year.

Our team also meets one of the thousands of people who have made irregular crossings to Malta from North Africa to claim asylum in the EU, a Malta resident working to get migrant voices heard locally, and the executive director of the EU’s Agency for Asylum.
