Approximately two hundred men marched through the streets of Amsterdam today, traveling from Dam Square to Museumplein to protest violence against women. Organized by Bas Waijers and Oscar Kroes, the event aimed to emphasize that men bear responsibility for ending violence and must actively work to ensure women's safety. Participants walked through areas including Singel and Frederiksplein before reuniting with women waiting at the final destination to show solidarity.Organizers highlighted the importance of men engaging in dialogue with one another and learning to address problematic behavior among their peers. While the demonstration was intended to foster a protective environment, it faced criticism from the feminist group Emancipator, which argued that framing men solely as protectors ignores their role as the primary perpetrators of violence. Despite this, the organizers maintained that their goal was to encourage men to take proactive responsibility for the safety of women in society.
