GasanMamo Insurance Champions the Fight Against Violence Towards Women

GasanMamo Insurance has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to social responsibility by being a key supporter of the recent Ħamrun Ħanin campaign against violence towards women. This vital initiative, which aimed to raise awareness and encourage action against gender-based violence, culminated in a donation to Dar Merħba Bik, a shelter that provides refuge and support for women in need.

As a company dedicated to making a difference in the community, GasanMamo Insurance played a fundamental role in ensuring the success of the campaign. This initiative, which ran in conjunction with international efforts to end violence against women, featured powerful messages from influential women, including Malta and Internationale FC football star Haley Bugeja. As one of the faces of the campaign and an ambassador for positive change, Bugeja spoke out with a powerful message, inspiring and empowering women to take a stand against violence. Other prominent figures, such as Brenda Borg, Maya Cachia, and Dr. Maria Azzopardi, also lent their voices to the cause, reinforcing the message of courage and resilience.

Beyond raising awareness, the campaign had tangible impacts through various activities designed to foster solidarity and support for survivors of violence. Members of Ħamrun Ħanin, the social outreach arm of Ħamrun Spartans FC, dedicated their time and effort to visiting Dar Merħba Bik, offering voluntary assistance and acknowledging the invaluable work done by the centre’s staff. Furthermore, a special initiative in collaboration with MPL provided female staff members at Dar Merħba Bik with a well-deserved evening of relaxation and enjoyment at a Premier League match, demonstrating appreciation for their relentless commitment to helping women in distress.

Additionally, the campaign launched a unique fundraising effort under the Sports Unity project. Captains from the Premier League, Challenge League, Women’s League, and Veterans’ League wore signed armbands during matchday to raise awareness. These armbands were later auctioned, generating additional funds to support Dar Merħba Bik’s essential services.

GasanMamo Insurance’s support was instrumental in bringing this initiative to life, reinforcing the company’s dedication to advocating for important social issues. Julian Mamo, Managing Director at GasanMamo Insurance, commented: ‘At GasanMamo Insurance, we believe in using our platform to support meaningful initiatives that drive positive change. Violence against women is a pressing issue that requires continuous effort and awareness, and we are proud to stand behind campaigns like this that make a real difference in our community.

Speaking about the initiative, Ian Debattista, Chairman of Ħamrun Ħanin, stated: “We are proud to have been part of this campaign. The unity and dedication shown by the football community and beyond emphasize the importance of continuously amplifying the message to end all forms of violence against women.”

Frida Mangion, Head of Services at Dar Merħba Bik, expressed her gratitude: “The support from Ħamrun Ħanin, the volunteers, and our sponsors, especially GasanMamo Insurance, has been invaluable. It is only through collective action that we can continue providing essential services to women in need.”

Through this campaign, GasanMamo Insurance has reaffirmed its commitment to social change, standing strong in the fight to end violence against women and supporting those who need it most. #EndViolence #WeAreAlwaysThere
