Across London, 8% of public sculptures depict animals, whereas solely 4% depict women, in accordance with the study from the British charity Art UK, which was revealed on Thursday.
People of coloration signify simply 1% of the town's sculptures, with women of coloration accounting for 0.2%, it discovered.
The figures sit in stark distinction to that of statues and sculptures devoted to males, which account for over 20% of the town's 1,500 monuments, and over 79% of all statues devoted to "named people," the report stated.
Royalty, army figures, politicians, writers, artists, designers and actors are among the many mostly depicted male topics, Art UK stated.
The group has been accumulating information on London's sculptures since 2017 as half of a main analysis mission, which is funded partially by City Hall.
Among the UK's largest cities, London has the very best share of sculptures devoted to women.
Nationwide, Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1819 -- 1901, is essentially the most represented girl.
Many of Britain's monuments have confronted a reckoning since world protests in opposition to systemic racism and inequality final 12 months.
In June 2020, Black Lives Matter protesters in Bristol, UK, pulled down a statue of Seventeenth-century slave dealer Edward Colston and rolled it by the streets earlier than dumping into the River Avon.
That similar month, a native council in Dorset, southern England, introduced it would take away a statue of Scouts founder Robert Baden-Powell following police recommendation it was on a "target list for attack." Critics of Baden-Powell say he held homophobic and racist views.
With a colonial historical past spanning centuries -- and a mania for erecting statues within the nineteenth century -- Britain's cities and cities are dotted with monuments to figures like Colston and Baden-Powell.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, introduced a fee in June 2020 to look at the longer term of landmarks across the UK capital, together with murals, road artwork, road names and statues.
The Commission for Diversity within the Public Realm is geared toward enhancing "diversity across London's public realm, to ensure the capital's landmarks suitably reflect London's achievements and diversity."
This 12 months, the Commission introduced that it could be organising a £1 million (roughly $1.4 million) fund to create new landmarks throughout London that "better reflect the capital's diversity and the achievements of all who have contributed to the success of the city."
Art UK's study is the primary complete audit of London's public monuments and shall be used to tell the Commission's work.
