Friends ,
IBFAN Asia has launched this unique campaign , One Million Campaign to
Support Breastfeeding
About 10 million of the world's children die every year before they
reach their fifth birthday. That is, over 27,000 per day, or over 1100
per hour. Of these 1100, over a third - more than 450 - are less than
a month old. Evidence tells us that good breastfeeding
practices can save thousands of these babies. Unfortunately, not even
half the women of the world can carry out adequate breastfeeding. 135
Million, babies are born every year. Only 64 million women can
initiate timely breastfeeding. Only 48 million women can practise
exclusive breastfeeding for six months. They cannot carry out adequate
breastfeeding of their babies because they lack support.
Sign up our petition to demand support to women to be successful in
breastfeeding and stop unethical marketing of baby foods/formula.
More than 32000 people have already signed, you can also join
http://www.onemillioncampaign.org/en/Details_Petitions.aspx
During the May 3rd week, World leaders will meet in Geneva to discuss
the impact of
financial crisis on global health; we will submit our petition to them
to remind them demand this support to women for being successful in
breastfeeding.
So Hurry Up and sign up Now, and tell your friends to do so.
Thanks !
