Today, Trisianne Oliva played an important role in hosting the public consultation on “The Right to Be Forgotten for Cancer Survivors”. This groundbreaking initiative is more than just a legal reform — it is a moral commitment to ensuring fairness, dignity, and a real fresh start for those who have overcome cancer.
Taking to social media, Trisianne rightly pointed out:
“This important initiative is a vital step towards ensuring fairness, dignity, and a fresh start for those who have overcome cancer. Thank you Amanda Spiteri Grech for allowing me to be part of such meaningful work.”
Amanda Spiteri Grech Leading the Way
This initiative would not be possible without the vision and leadership of Hon. Amanda Spiteri Grech, who has been at the forefront of pushing forward this Bill. Her determination to place the needs of cancer survivors at the centre of policy is a reflection of her courage and compassion as a legislator. By bringing this reform forward, she is ensuring that survivors are not punished for their past but empowered to rebuild their future.
A Reform That Transforms Lives
The “Right to Be Forgotten” is about breaking stigma and removing barriers. For too long, cancer survivors have faced discrimination when seeking financial services, employment opportunities, or even insurance. This Bill will guarantee that surviving cancer does not mean carrying an unfair burden for life.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Hon. Amanda Spiteri Grech and the engagement of people like Trisianne Oliva, Malta is taking a progressive step towards justice, equality, and respect for all those who fought and won their battle against cancer.
This is not just policy. This is about human dignity.
