On this occasion awards are given to individuals who have made distinctive contributions men's rights such as, for example, efforts made by committee members, "for the removal of the impediment of departure which we had on men in separation/divorce cases.

As the February date is not celebrated by other participating countries and did not qualify as an ''internationally'' observed date, discussions were undertaken within the Maltese Association for Men's Rights, and on 17 January 2009, the committee voted unanimously to shift their celebrations to 19 November to coincide with all the others around the world.<ref name="Thompson"/><ref name="Malta & South Africa">[http://internationalmensday.co/malta-south-africa/ Malta & South Africa]</ref></div>Robert Brockway
