A traveling Swedish photo exhibition promoting gender equality is currently touring Japan, featuring Swedish fathers taking long periods of parental leave and caring for their children at home.

"Swedish Dads" is a collection of photos taken by Johan Bavman, who hopes to introduce his home country's unique parental leave system and inspire fathers around the world to consider the positive impact it has on family life.

The exhibition, sponsored by the Swedish Embassy, showcases photos of 25 fathers with their children. Bavman has taken his pictures to countries such as Vietnam, China and Australia, according to the embassy.
