(VOvworld) - Large photos depicting men taking care of their children are hung on the wall around the Swedish Embassy in Hanoi as part of an on-going exhibition "Swedish Dads". Swedish Ambassador Camilla Mellander said the exhibition aims to improve gender equality and promote equal sharing of parental leave between men and women..

The Swedish Dads photo series was created by Swedish photographer Johan Bavman, who strived to document Swedish fathers in their daily lives, taking advantage of Sweden's generous paternity-leave to spend more time with their kids.
Bavman said with this project he wanted to find out why these men have chosen to stay at home; what has it done for them, how have their relationships with their partner and their child changed, and what expectations did they have before taking parental leave.
