In a striking campaign, the group The Dad Shift has attached lifesize model babies in slings to male statues across London, including those of iconic figures like Thierry Henry and Gene Kelly, to advocate for improved paternity leave in the UK. Currently, the UK has the least generous paternity leave in Europe, offering only two weeks at £184.03 per week, which has led to one in three fathers taking no leave at all after their child's birth. The campaign highlights the broader implications of insufficient paternity leave on family dynamics, with recent polls indicating that 90% of fathers desire to be more involved in their children's lives. The Dad Shift plans to deliver an open letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, urging him to support reforms that would enhance parental leave provisions. Advocates argue that better paternity leave benefits not just fathers, but mothers and society as a whole, by fostering stronger family bonds and contributing to economic equality. The initiative reflects a growing recognition of the importance of fatherhood and calls for policy changes to better support working families.
