"Imagine a bronze statue of a stoic leader, now wearing a bright pink baby
sling with a doll nestled inside. On International Men’s Day, November 19th,
male statues across Sweden were adorned with baby slings and carriers as part
of a unique campaign to spotlight unequal parenting responsibilities.
Traditionally representing power, labor, or other masculine attributes, these
statues were reimagined to symbolize fathers as caregivers. The campaign,
organized by the think tank Arena Idé, is part of the #kvantitetstidspappan
initiative, aimed at encouraging fathers to spend more time with their children
and urging employers to play a larger role in enabling this."
