Dear all

IBFAN-GIFA recently published a great little booklet written by Lida 
Llotska called Whatever happened to Health for All? Ups and downs of 
protection of breastfeeding, regulation of transnational corporations 
and Health for All.  Gabrielle Palmer helped with editing.  It looks 
like a very useful resource for those of us interested in the 
politics and policies related to breastfeeding and I will find it 
good for our BF advocacy efforts.  It focuses on the protection of BF 
in the global and UN context. Particular attention is paid to the 
Alma Ata agreement signed, would you believe? 30 years ago, and 
argues for public forces to come together once again due to a unique 
potential to facilitate the comprehensive achievement of children's 
and women's right to health.

I have permission to let you know that the English version has been 
now posted at http://www.gifa.org/files/protection.pdf  and feedback 
would be welcomed.

Enjoy!
