WABA Global Forum on Breastfeeding - Bangkok, 2-6 December 1996.

The WABA Global Forum provides an opportunity for exchange of experiences,
knowledge,skills and information on breastfeeding, young child nutrition,
children's health, women's rights and children's rights.

Whereas traditionally healthand nutrition have been approached mainly from a
scientific angle,thisForum attempts to place these concerns within their
social, economic andethical context as well. It is a rallying point to move
beyond the Innocenti Declaration goals and to widen the issue of young child
nutrition to itsethical and practical dimensions which include the rights of
children and women.

The WABA Global Forum's site can be available in:
http://www.elogica.com.br/waba.

You will find information on the programme, themes, logistics, news, and
what is and how to contact WABA. You also can print the "Endorsement of the
World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) form", to send, afterwards,
by fax to WABA Secretariat.

WABA would like to use the site to bring the WABA Global Forum on
Breastfeeding to you. Even without
going to Bangkok you can help prepare for the Forum. As of 2 December, when
the Forum starts you'll find news items, documents and photos about what is
happening there, day by day. You will not be left out.

What's more, you'll discover a new way of participating where you can
express ideas, send suggestions or leave your congratulations, all of this
through our guestbook where you can write and read messages.

We're waiting for you!

Best Wishes,
