Tips on Balancing Work and Life, for Maltan Women and Everyone

In a culture where women do a lot, a workshop on dealing with "over-responsibility"

  • Malta is a land where women are still the go-to members of society, an island of minimal male help at home and yet a rising involvement of women at the highest levels of business.
  • So Marceline Naudi of Malta’s Women Study Group highlighted the need of women — everywhere — to avoid what she calls “default responsibility – the woman automatically [feels] responsible.”
  • So Catherine Bij de Vaate-Guerraz, of the Dutch centre on gender diversity and family e-Equality, brought in solutions for the women to make sure they do not take on too much of a load and hurt their careers.
