The rally outside parliament follows concerns that misogyny is too prevalent online among teenage boys and young men.

Influencers on the fringe of the online “manosphere” have been emboldened by Donald Trump’s 2024 US election win to amplify misogynistic derision and threats.

A survey on the impact in Switzerland by the University of Zurich and mencare found that half of male respondents aged 18 to 24 held a “restrictive and dominance-based view of masculinity.”

Justice Minister Beat Jans, in a speech this month, said: “Violence by men does not begin with the first blow; it begins with a disparaging remark.

Co-organiser Christophe Gosteli, 42, a social worker from the group Maenner, said: “We [men] no longer want to be part of the problem – we want to be part of the solution.”
