WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK INFORMATION 2003 IS HERE!!!!
For those of you who want to get started on World Breastfeeding Week
2003 activities, I just received information on the theme and support
information for the theme from WABA through Holly Szcodronski, National
WIC Association's Breastfeeding Promotion Committee Chair, who received
this information from Dr. Ruth Lawrence.
So...this is "sort of directly" from Dr. Lawrence. See information
below.

Here is the statement that I received from the waba forum.
Breastfeeding in a Globalised World
Protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding and the best possible
complementary feeding for infants and young children in the face of
increasing globalisation is the challenge for World Breastfeeding Week
2003.
In a world where trade agreements, world trade organisation priorities
and
the economic interests of transnational corporations over ride the needs
of
mothers and children; where policy makers face new barriers in
implementation of the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk
Substitutes and the relevant subsequent Resolutions of the World Health
Assembly; where the privatisation of health care and hospitals puts
profits
ahead of public health needs and breastfeeding friendly practices; where
global deregulation and harmonisation overrides national policies to
regulate the marketing and labelling of infant feeding products; where
genetic modification of our basic food commodities is pushed through
trade
or aid; and where mothers face infant feeding decisions in the face of
the
HIV epidemic; health care workers, institutions, mothers, parents,
women's
groups and environmental networks are resorting to new and challenging
ways
to ensure that the protection for infant and child health, that is
conferred
through breastfeeding, remains safe and sound.
This year we are exploring how we can meet these challenges and create a
people's response to work both at global and local levels: as a global
movement to impact the global structures, and in our local communities
to
help build a better environment for mothers and babies. An environment
where
the nurturing through breastfeeding is valued and where its protection
is
placed above economic priorities.
WBW 2003 Goals
Our goals for World Breastfeeding Week 2003 are:
* To recognise the continued threats to breastfeeding practices
* To realise our capacity and responsibilities to make this a
better
world for all
* To respond by joining hands to create a powerful global force
for
mothers and babies
* To recapture a breastfeeding culture for our world and for our
communities
* To think globally and to act locally
New Challenges
Trade agreements may:
* Challenge a nation's Code implementation or national laws
* Reduce a government's ability to determine national infant
feeding
policies, in matters such as: breastfeeding, genetically modified
ingredients, labelling of infant foods, and food safety standards
Increased privatisation means:
* As private health care systems profit, public health systems are
weakened
* Decreased accountability of governments
* UN agencies are increasingly losing independence by partnering
with
private businesses
* Publicly funded breastfeeding programmes may be undermined e.g.
BFHI
* Increased disparity between rich and poor affecting especially
women's health and nutrition
New Opportunities
* Increased cooperation within the breastfeeding movement to
address
common problems and issues
* Greater understanding among various civil society organisations
(CSO) working towards global and public justice
Tools for Action
Global tools and networks that breastfeeding advocates can work
with:
* International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes
* Innocenti Declaration on the Protection, promotion and support
of
breastfeeding
* WHO's Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding
* World Health Assembly Resolutions on Infant and Young Child
Nutrition
* ILO conventions on maternity protection
* Convention on the Rights of the Child
* Universal Declaration of Human Rights
* Codex Alimanterius Commission
* Millennium Development Goals
* Alliance for a Corporate Free UN
* People's Health Movement

Dear Amy,
The 2003 WABA statement is out. It is substantive. Can WABA be an
agenda
item, re:
1. USBC membership
2. Reembracing some of its issues
3. World Breastfeeding week?
Best Wishes,
Ruth
