photo show: Swedish Embassy showcased a photo exhibition at Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) Headquarters in Lahore with the objective to highlight male role models and create a dialogue on gender equality in parenthood on Friday.

The event was also attended by Swedish Ambassador Ingrid Johansson who expressed his thoughts to the audience. The event was participated by a number of young officers of PSCA and Punjab Police and City Traffic Police Lahore, with a remarkable number of female officers. The photos and captions explored how Pakistani fathers viewed their own male role in contrast to the traditional parental role. The exhibition expressed that Pakistani working fathers were highly motivated and determined to be actively present in their children’s lives.

“We are here today to highlight fathers who are active and share responsibilities with their spouses. This exhibition aims to travel to different cities around Pakistan with a message that an evenly involved fatherhood is the key to gender equality and so travels the child development with it. Equal parenting has positive effects on children and parents, as well as on society”, said the Swedish ambassador. Child-rearing is an equal responsibility of both parents.

Next exhibition will portray police dads taking care of their children along with their professions. Future events will be organised in police training schools. The inspector general of police, Punjab, said, “We are transforming Punjab Police on modern lines and its efficiency will improve systematically. We will soon be getting into a memorandum of understanding with Sweden for effective traffic management.”
