World Breastfeeding Week 2015: Breastfeeding and Work: Let's Make It Work!

This year, the theme of World Breastfeeding Week is a global call to action, organized by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) to support women in combining breastfeeding and work.

"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)"

 WABA reminds us that there are three necessary factors for women to combine breastfeeding and working successfully:  time, space and support.
