About This Trend

بابا جديد is a popular Arabic phrase translating to "New Dad" in English. It refers to a growing trend of Middle Eastern fathers, particularly in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, who are challenging traditional gender roles by taking on more hands-on, nurturing, and emotionally expressive approaches to parenting. This trend is currently popular on social media as it highlights a shift towards more progressive masculinity and encourages a culture of openness, empathy, and equality.
