BERN: Hundreds of men gathered in Switzerland on Saturday to protest against violence towards women, emphasizing the need for male voices in the fight for gender equality.

The march, organized by various advocacy groups, aimed to challenge societal norms and encourage men to speak out against misogyny and violence.

Recent studies in Switzerland reveal that nearly half of men aged 18 to 24 hold restrictive views on masculinity, highlighting a pressing need for cultural change.

Organizers of the march stated, “Men must take responsibility and actively participate in the conversation about violence against women. Silence is complicity.”

The event featured speeches from activists and survivors, aiming to raise awareness and foster dialogue.

This movement reflects a growing recognition of the role men play in combating gender-based violence, a critical issue that affects communities worldwide.

By addressing toxic masculinity and promoting healthy expressions of manhood, the march seeks to create a safer environment for women and challenge harmful stereotypes.

Looking ahead, organizers plan to hold workshops and discussions in schools and communities to further engage men in the conversation.

They aim to collaborate with local governments and NGOs to implement educational programs that promote respect and equality.
