Let’s make breastfeeding and work, work!
More than half a billion working women are not given essential maternity protections in national laws
Just 20% of countries require employers to provide employees with paid breaks and facilities for breastfeeding or expressing milk
Fewer than half of infants under 6 months of age are exclusively breastfed.
