Hundreds of people protest in the capital: what is happening

In Berne, Switzerland, hundreds of men demonstrated against misogyny and violence against women. AP reports.

The rally was held at the Parliament building. Participants insist that men should play a greater role in combating these phenomena.

The action came amid concerns that misogyny is widespread online among teenagers and young men. According to the organizers, other men need to create a stronger counterweight to this.

In June, the University of Zurich and mencare published a survey. Half of 18- to 24-year-old men surveyed said that “real men are increasingly marginalized” for taking a restrictive view of masculinity.

The study pointed to the need for authorities to discuss ideals of masculinity, starting with schools.
