This morning a note came from Ted Greiner of WABA:

<<Dear Friends,

UNICEF is concerned and taking seriously the continuing threat that nursing
breaks get removed from the ILO Maternity Protection Convention. Below is a
statement from David Clark at UNICEF that you can share with your contacts
working on the ILO campaign:

"You can state that UNICEF is seriously concerned about this threat to the
breastfeeding rights of working women, and that offices have been made aware
of
the threat.  They may therefore be able to offer assistance or support in
approaching appropriate national counterparts to ensure that they are aware of
the human rights and maternal and child health implications of any attempt to
undermine maternity protection."

Sincerely,

Ted Greiner>>

I thought you'd like to know about it.
