A 'men's rights' Edinburgh march will take place through city centre this weekend

A march for men's equality is coming to Edinburgh's Royal Mile this Saturday.

The procession is being organised by Split the Difference CIC, who describe themselves as "an organisation created to raise awareness on the inequality for men and boys within United Nation member states and encourage consultation, guidance and policy that supports their needs equally to women and girls."

The organisation previously launched a petition demanding the government to review all laws, policies and strategies to 'meet the needs of men and boys' - it received 366 signatures in six months out the 10,000 needed to reach parliament.

They have also recently tweeted phrases such as 'What does women bring to the table?' and 'We need to protect maleness.'

Sharing an Eventbrite link for the march on Twitter, the organisation wrote "Join us, its time to stand up and support change for them, it is their right to thrive and be respected, just as we expect for our ladies.

"For sons, dads, granddads, brothers, uncles, best friends, they do not have the same equal rights as women and girls - this is a fact.

"People need to know men and boys don't have equality, family court, homelessness, etc come walk while we celebrate fathers day, share the love."

The procession will begin on Saturday at 37 Royal Mile, Edinburgh EH1 2NE at 145pm and will end outside the Scottish Parliament at 3pm.
