>> *World Breastfeeding Week 2009: "Breastfeeding: A Vital Emergency
>> Response. Are you ready?" *
>>
>> *Objectives:* To draw attention to the vital role that breastfeeding 
>> plays
>> in emergencies worldwide; To stress the need for active protection and
>> support of breastfeeding before and during emergencies; To inform 
>> mothers,
>> breastfeeding advocates, communities, health professionals, governments,
>> aid agencies, donors, and the media on how they can actively support
>> breastfeeding before and during an emergency; To mobilise action and
>> nurture networking and collaboration between those with breastfeeding
>> skills and those involved in emergency response.
>>
>> *Rationale: *Children are the most vulnerable in emergencies – child
>> mortality can soar from 2 to 70 times higher than average due to
>> diarrhoea, respiratory illness and malnutrition; Breastfeeding is a life
>> saving intervention and protection is greatest for the youngest infants.
>> Even in non-emergency settings, non-breastfed babies under 2 months of 
>> age
>> are six times more likely to die; Emergencies can happen anywhere in the
>> world. Emergencies destroy what is ‘normal,’ leaving caregivers 
>> struggling
>> to cope and infants vulnerable to disease and death; During emergencies,
>> mothers need active support to continue or re-establish breastfeeding;
>> Emergency preparedness is vital. Supporting breastfeeding in 
>> non-emergency
>> settings will strengthen mothers’ capacity to cope in an emergency.
>>
>> *Photocontest*: Feature your breastfeeding photos in this year's Action
>> Folder! WABA is organising a global breastfeeding photography contest for
>> WBW 2009. Ten winning photos will be selected, and contributors whose
>> photos are featured in the Action Folders will be awarded US$100 for each
