Inspired By Dad’s Viral Photo, John Legend Helps Pampers Install 5,000 Changing Tables In Men’s Restrooms
In today’s day and age, most of us are quite used to the idea that taking care of a child is not just a mother’s responsibility. Men all over the world are speaking up for the recognition they deserve. The traditional and quite sexist way of thinking that only women should be provided all the necessities needed in public places to take care of their children has been a major problem. One of the biggest examples of such unfairness is the lack of changing tables in men’s public bathrooms, but hopefully, with the hashtag #squatforchange going viral, we are up for a very positive change.

Recently, one man named Donte Palmer showed how fathers have to change diapers in public bathrooms since there are no changing tables for men

In a now viral photo, Donte is captured squatting in a public toilet while holding his child on his knees in order to change his diaper.
After Donte’s photo went viral, more men showed their support by capturing themselves squatting in public bathrooms

The movement quickly turned into a viral #squatforchange hashtag with men all over the country demanding changing tables in men’s public bathrooms.

Tired of constantly having to change their baby’s diapers in the most uncomfortable places, fathers started to demand changing tables in their bathrooms as well. The fact that they exist only in women’s bathrooms is not only sexist, it also causes great inconvenience.

If you believe in the positive change this initiative is making, you can donate to them on their website.
Then, many squatting photos later, the initiative caught John Legend’s and Pampers’ attention
Because of the #squatforchange movement, Pampers collaborated with John Legend and KoalaKare to install 5,000 new changing tables in public restrooms.
You can watch this video to learn more about it
Many people loved this initiative and showed their complete support

What they need is more Family Bathrooms. One's that can accommodate men and women with kids as well as people with special needs teens and adults. I've gone to several malls across the country that have such bathrooms and many of the Walmarts, Krogers and newly built stores are making the change. Practically every mall in the Carolina's have them..why is it so hard for architects to put in these bathrooms, especially with the growing number of adults with autism and cp.....

The new park by our house just finished their bathroom building and it has a family bathroom. Our mall had one added on years ago. It's still slow going but in most places moving in the right direction- at least in this aspect.

This is so nice that someone (props to John Legend and Dante Palmer specifically) actually did something about the issue and I hope that more are continuing to be installed!

So true, but let's not forget the OP who this originated from - Dante Palmer. John Legend picked up the ball and ran with it though!

This is great that people are doing something about this. (Also, I love that one guy's "feminism is for everyone" tee)
