In London and Edinburgh, baby slings have been draped on statues of famous men, including Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Thierry Henry, and Gene Kelly, to raise awareness of the U.K.’s paternity leave policies. The campaign, led by The Dad Shift, aims to highlight the roles of fathers and advocate for more paid time off for new dads. Statues of Ken Buchanan, Laurence Olivier, and Tony Adams also featured baby carriers. The U.K. offers just two weeks of paternity leave at £184.03 per week, lagging behind countries like France and Spain, which offer significantly more paid leave.
