Breastfeeding: A key to
Sustainable Development

 
Celebrate #WBW2016 by making breastfeeding a key to Sustainable Development!

‪The WABA #‎WBW2016 is now over – thank you for all your efforts to protect, promote and support ‪#‎breastfeeding! We loved receiving stories and photos from your celebrations across the world. Your engagement with us via social media has been amazing – please check out our Post-WBW2016 Media Report to see how we’ve grown together!

What’s next? To achieve the Global Goals for Sustainable Development by 2030, we have to make sure that our campaigns are themselves sustainable. We would love to hear your thoughts on the WBW2016 celebration. This is particularly important as WBW 2017 will be all about partnerships with anyone who can help to protect, promote and support breastfeeding. We may even help you find allies in your region to maximise the impact of your efforts.

Post-WBW Survey

So join in, voice your opinions, and plan activities not just for the rest of 2016, but also for WBW 2017 and beyond. Let’s connect the dots to make breastfeeding a key to #‎sustainabledevelopment‬‬‬‬‬‬‬. Together, let’s campaign for a generation!
