This week its World Breastfeeding Week & the focus is on women returning to the workforce (formally & informally) whilst still breastfeeding.
This year, WABA calls for:
~ Concerted global action to support women to combine breastfeeding and work, whether in the formal sector, non-formal sector, or at home
~ Ratification and implementation of maternity protection laws and regulations by governments, in line with the ILO Maternity Protection Convention
~ Inclusion of breastfeeding target indicators in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Supporting Breastfeeding is a particular passion of mine. I am a strong advocate for the benefits of breastfeeding & I have long understood the significance of breastfeeding in creating a healthy & happy society. This episodes features two mothers Juliana Zago and Caroline Cowley.
