| Twenty members from the organisation Evangleische Frauenwerk paid a | courtesy call on Madam Speaker, Notary Myriam Spiteri Debono, at her office at the House of Representatives, Valletta, today Monday, 13 October 1997. |
| The Evangleische Frauenwerk is based in Kiel, Germany, and a | representation of its members, who in all number 2,500, are in Malta to find out how Maltese women have progressed over the years. |
| The German guests explained to Madam Speaker the aim of their | organisation to tackle problems encountered by women in today's society by means of peace movements, economic avenues and through the spiritual approach. |
| Madam Speaker outlined the situation in Malta and stated that the | country is in a transition stage, where women are registering progress in becoming fully-fledged partners in society. She stated that although now 50% of all university students are female, the problem remains of what happens to graduate women after their marriage. She added that equality is safeguarded by the legal framework, but it is the mentality that has to be changed in the approach to the problem of equal opportunity for women. |
| The members of the Evangleische Frauenwerk thanked Madam Speaker | for receiving them and presented her with a book on the workings of their organisation. |
