<br>
Women’s reproductive health and rights must be prioritised as a key component of the Sustainable Development Goals. Lactation and breastfeeding are part of the reproductive continuum and require access to consistent information and skilled support. Breastfeeding protects the health of women by reducing the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.<a href="https://waba.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c4737de875c6fa12b87991e8&id=4669bec211&e=858833e631" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://waba.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c4737de875c6fa12b87991e8&id=dbf69da175&e=858833e631" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Increased breastfeeding rates</a> could prevent 20,000 maternal deaths each year from breast cancer alone and prevent over 820,000 child deaths each year. Breastfeeding rates are stagnant or declining in many parts of the world. The cost of not breastfeeding on the global scale is about <a href="https://waba.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c4737de875c6fa12b87991e8&id=4f30b70e8f&e=858833e631" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">$302 billion annually</a>. Although some progress has been made in supporting breastfeeding it is far from being the social norm.<br>
<br>
When breastfeeding support is offered to women, the duration and exclusivity of breastfeeding is increased. Characteristics of effective support include: that it is offered as standard by trained personnel during antenatal or postnatal care, that it includes ongoing scheduled visits so that women can predict when support will be available, and that it is tailored to the setting and the needs of the population group. The <a href="https://waba.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c4737de875c6fa12b87991e8&id=c414ae7a75&e=858833e631" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Warm Chain</a><a href="https://waba.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c4737de875c6fa12b87991e8&id=cd8b61582c&e=858833e631" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"> </a>places the mother-baby dyad at the core and follows the first 1,000 days timeline. With consistent messages and proper referral systems throughout the warm chain, the mother-baby dyad will benefit from ongoing support and skilled assistance. <br>

Women’s economic empowerment is inextricably linked to their empowerment as mothers and primary infant caregivers. According to the ILO, <a href="https://waba.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c4737de875c6fa12b87991e8&id=a52ef73444&e=858833e631" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">830 million women</a><a href="https://waba.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c4737de875c6fa12b87991e8&id=fefd67b93a&e=858833e631" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank"> </a>workers do not have adequate maternity protection. When fathers/partners support breastfeeding and are involved in caring for the baby, breastfeeding improves, the parental relationship is better. <a href="https://waba.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c4737de875c6fa12b87991e8&id=bd4d2e14ba&e=858833e631" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Supporting parents at work</a> is a prerequisite for optimal breastfeeding, distributing care work and transforming social norms. Parent-friendly policies, which enable women to remain and progress in paid employment and encourage men to take their fair share of care work, are crucial to achieving gender equality at work and at home. <br>
<br>
Balancing work and family life, including breastfeeding, is increasingly necessary for all. This will ensure a productive and healthy workforce thus leading to a better society. Effective partnerships between governments, employers, trade unions and civil society organisations will increase access to gender-equitable social protection. Gender equitable social protection includes legislation, positive social norms and supportive work policies which are the basis of the <a href="https://waba.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c4737de875c6fa12b87991e8&id=3ae22b2466&e=858833e631" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Empowering Parents Campaign.</a><br>
