Breastfeeding – A matter of human rights is the title of a new interesting presentation developed by IBFAN-GIFA, with funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, on this important connection that is too often forgotten. The presentation is available at this link and constitutes an interactive path simulating what mothers and families may encounter when starting the unique adventure of having a baby.

Discover how each action to protect, promote and support breastfeeding can really make a difference and have a strong impact on mothers’ self-confidence in their ability to breastfeed. The with/without scenarios will help you understand how important is that everybody contributes to creating an enabling environment for women to optimally feed their children: decision-makers, health professionals, family members and friends, employers, baby food manufacturers and distributors. Find in the blue sections some interesting facts linking breastfeeding with human rights. Click on IBFAN and GIFA’s logos to watch a video presenting the work of our network.
