12th Breastfeeding and Feminism International Conference: Breastfeeding as Social Justice: From Crucial Conversation to Inspired Action.

چکیده
Public health efforts to protect, promote and support breastfeeding are based on the central argument that breastfeeding is the healthiest way of feeding and nurturing infants. Although supported by abundant scientific research, this core message has offered an insufficient framework for successful breastfeeding advocacy, practice and policy. If we are to increase breastfeeding rates around the world, we need to attend to the array of forces that shape infant feeding decisions and experiences. We need to identify and respond to the social and economic inequities that affect infant feeding practices and experiences and develop strategies that lead to breastfeeding equity across populations and communities. BFIC 2017 thus aims to position social justice as the central principle for developing a broad and sustained global movement to build breastfeeding friendly policies, institutions and communities.
