🐙Thrift ix-Xlokk #3

It's time to welcome you once again to my childhood home 🧡

Thrift ix-Xlokk has become by far my favourite event (not solely because im the one organsing it) - but because I get to share one of my favourite places with you. I grew up in the garden. It's a place of memories - from playing with my cousins as kids to celebrating birthdays, graduations and everything in between! It's always been a peaceful space & after the success of the last two events I was super excited to host the third edition!

Sooo whether this is your first time hearing about Thrift ix-Xlokk or you’ve been with us since the start, you are invited to join us for the chillest thrift event in the south - where you can meet new people, have a beer in the garden and find yourself some goodies from local artists or uncover some clothing treasure. 🌿

As always apart from the curated thrift/vintage clothing there will be a separate section of secondhand clothes available for a donation, with all proceeds going to Dar Hosea.

These are the details:

Date: 23rd May @ 2pm-9pm
24th May @ 10am-7pm

Venue: Private garden in Marsaxlokk

See you there

Dar Hosea was in Paris marking 10 years since the French abolitionist law, coming together not only to celebrate, but to renew hope and strengthen the movement for justice.

The gathering brought together survivors, feminists, activists, policymakers, and frontline movements from around the world. In solidarity and shared determination, one message stood out: the movement to end the exploitation of women and girls in prostitution continues to grow stronger.

Together in the streets, voices united, we affirmed a shared vision of dignity and freedom.

No woman should be bought.
No woman should be exploited!

We are deeply saddened by the loss of a true pioneer in the social field, a leader who embodied humility, compassion and an unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of others. Her legacy will continue to inspire many to lead with purpose, integrity and care.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and all those whose lives were touched by her inspiring presence. May she rest in peace.

Tribute to Graziella Castillo

It is with profound sorrow that we mourn the passing of Graziella Castillo, Director of Agenzija Appogg. A loss that is deeply felt across her family, her colleagues and the many lives she so quietly and powerfully touched.

Graziella was more than a leader. She was a source of strength, compassion and humanity in a field that demands all three in abundance. She carried the weight of responsibility with grace, always guided by an unshakable belief that every person deserves to be heard, supported and treated with dignity.

Behind her role and achievements was a woman of immense kindness and empathy. She never lost sight of the human stories behind the work: the vulnerable, the unheard, the struggling, day after day, to ensure they were not alone.

Her presence brought reassurance. Her leadership brought direction. Her heart brought warmth to an organisation and a sector that relied so much on both courage and care.

Graziella leaves behind a legacy that cannot simply be measured in policies or programmes, but in the lives she helped steady, the people she inspired and the compassion she embedded into the very fabric of Agenzija Appogg.

She will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever appreciated.

May she rest in eternal peace.

Today, Dar Hosea had the pleasure of showcasing its services at the Academy of Givers' Annual Impact Fair 2026. It was also a great opportunity to attend the conference alongside fellow NGOs and businesses.

A heartfelt thank you to all the companies and organisations who visited our stand and showed interest in our work. We truly appreciated the opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and engage in meaningful discussions with so many inspiring people 🌻💛

SideStreet reached out to Dar Hosea, a shelter for victims of prostitution. We spoke to Maria Borg Pellicano, leader of services at the shelter and senior social worker and researcher, Romina Gatt Lopez.

These are their insights into the harms of po*******hy and there close link to prostitution and sexual exploitation.
