Globally 3.6 million Infants die before they reach their first birthday and
millions are malnourished because of inadequate and inappropriate
breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices.

Most effective interventions to save babies’ lives and prevent malnutrition
is to enhance early and exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months,
and good complementary feeding thereafter along with continued
breastfeeding.  For this, women needed to be supported.

The UN Secretary General, Ban Ki- moon will launch the Global Strategy for
Women's and Children's Health at a special event during the MDG Summit in
New York on 22nd  September.

Let's call upon the UN Secretary General to ensure support to women.

SIEZE THE MOMENT and raise your voice.

Sign and send  the petition to the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki - moon to
urge him to include specific budgetary support for adequate maternity
benefits and entitlements, skilled counseling in health systems, in order to
make it possible for women to breastfeed successfully.
