They carried banners with feminist slogans, as well as environmental demands and anti-racism messages.
Several protested topless from the bridges in Lausanne.
A further 2,000 met on the plaine de Plainpalais in Geneva. A cry went up at 3.24pm, which is symbolic as the time women are no longer paid due to the 20% pay-gap between men and women.
