Celebrated in Canada OCTOBER 1-7, 2003

 

Join the Canadian breastfeeding community in celebrating World Breastfeeding Week. This year's theme - Breastfeeding in a Globalized World for Peace and Justice - provides an opportunity to consider the challenges of globalization while identifying the resources that globalization provides to promote breastfeeding locally as a symbol of peace and justice. To help celebrate and organize community events, INFACT Canada has prepared an action kit that highlights this year's theme. The kit is both a useful tool for action and a valuable source of knowledge about breastfeeding and related topics. It contains information sheets and effective ideas for action, including:

· Fair Trade or Free Trade: Holding Corporations Accountable

· Risky Business - Genetically Modified Organisms

· Commodification of the Breast

· Environment - Breastfeeding in a Contaminated World

· Pathways to Exclusive Breastfeeding

· Tools for Action to Create a Breastfeeding Culture

· 14 Risk of Formula Feeding

· Human Milk Banking

· Breastfeeding - It means the world to me!

The kit also includes eye-catching visuals and promotional tools such as:

· NEW "Breastfeeding means the world to me" Pin-up posters

· NEW "I'm a breastfed baby" crib cards

· Sample press release and tips for working with the media

· Back by popular demand, Breastfeeding 101 pads
