London Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat politicians will come together to call for a national campaign to defeat online misogyny as research reveals the scale of abuse on social media.
Facebook expressed its backing for the campaign but acknowledged that it does not always take down misogynistic comments.
To coincide with the launch, the campaign has released research by Demos revealing the huge scale of social media misogyny.
The study monitored UK Twitter users over three weeks from the end of April.
It found that 6,500 individuals were targeted by 10,000 aggressive and misogynistic tweets in that period.
Internationally, more than 200,000 aggressive tweets using the same words were sent to 80,000 people in the same period — and according to the study, more than half of the offenders were women.
The Reclaim the Internet consultation will be launched on Thursday via the online forum Discourse.org.
