Maybe the men there have woken up and don’t want to be like Swedanistan.
Found the following via Google. While not MGTOW, it seems to be an active effort towards educating and providing advocacy for men.
Great find Machiavelli

Miessakit Association is a non-governmental expert organization established to support the mental, psychological and social growth of men. The organization complements the existing crisis services available for men and promotes nonviolent family life. Miessakit works as a national level link for men’s groups with equal objectives and maintains international contacts in its field.
Miessakit has a nationwide network of volunteers as local contacts for information regarding the organization and its activities. Miessakit also publishes literature in the fields of its operations and works actively to promote the male point of view in society.
Men’s groups The objective of the Miesryhmätoiminta – men’s group activities is to gather together men across the country into small groups for discussing issues on being a man and using each other as mirrors to find material for personal growth. Experience based on several years of development and background work shows that men’s group activities can also serve as an important preventive operational model in health care and social politics. In these groups the Finnish man, traditionally hiding his problems, can find new courage and self-confidence to be accepted as a man with all a man’s problems and uncertainties. This will also lower the threshold for looking for support and treatment so that help will be sought for before the eventual crisis or illness has developed to a less easily treatable stage. On the other hand, men’s groups will offer support in minor everyday issues and problems as well. This will prevent the piling up of unsolved matters.
Father support The objective of Isyyden Tueksi – father support activities is to develop and carry out and build training and structures for supporting fatherhood. These activities can help to create opportunities for men to participate in fathers’ peer support groups in connection with civic childbirth training or voluntary activities. On the other hand, staff from communities and other service providers will be able to specialize in fatherhood support. Father training activities meet the demand emerging from the increased opportunities for men to participate in childbirth and early childhood education and the fact that modern family training needs to take into account the special characteristics of the father as an important part of the family entity.
Divorce crisis support Erosta Elossa is a nationwide service that supports and guides men in dealing with divorce issues. The service helps men by giving support in the form of individual discussions, counseling and peer support in the various questions that arise when a relationship is under threat of ending, during the actual divorce process and in the time after divorce. One of the essential objectives is to secure the continuation of the relationship between father and child also after divorce.
Erosta Elossa offers individual discussion support and counseling by email and telephone. Erosta Elossa workers are available for individual meetings by appointment in the Helsinki metropolitan area.
Erosta Elossa gathers together and arranges men’s divorce groups across the country. Being part of a professionally steered peer group and listening to other men’s experiences helps in analyzing one’s own divorce process. The group deals with feelings related to divorce and works on issues such as parenting and visiting rights.
Social advocacy The objective of the organization’s social advocacy activities is to promote the male point of view in public discussion both by taking stands and by raising issues regarded as important. Miessakit participates in public debate in publications and at events and occasions willing to discuss questions that are considered focal to the organization’s mission. By expressing its opinions and issuing statements Miessakit aims to generate discussion and by doing so to influence.
