Every day, in every corner of the world, mothers make an incredible choice: to nourish, protect, and connect with their babies through breastfeeding. But while this act may seem natural, it doesn\u2019t always come easy \u2014 especially in crisis. So this week, across some of our missions, we\u2019ve taken action:<\/p>\n \u2022 In Afghanistan<\/strong>, we set up \u201cbreastfeeding corners,\u201d shared new materials with moms, and produced videos with local health workers to spread awareness.<\/p>\n \u2022 In Moldova<\/strong>, we marched through the streets, talked about myths and facts, and launched a digital campaign to spark conversation online.<\/p>\n \u2022 In Venezuela<\/strong>, we brought breastfeeding into Children\u2019s Day events \u2014 turning celebration into education, with the help of local health professionals.<\/p>\n \u2022 In Syria<\/strong>, our mobile clinics reached remote villages, while midwives led sessions for mothers who might otherwise be left behind.<\/p>\n \u2022 In Nigeria<\/strong>, we joined hands with the Ministry of Health to kick off the week with events in health centers across Borno State.<\/p>\n Each of these moments \u2014 small, local, human \u2014 is part of a bigger picture. A picture where breastfeeding is protected, promoted, and supported not just for a week, but all year long. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Breastfeeding Saves Lives.

\nThis is why International Breastfeeding Week<\/strong> matters. And why, this year, INTERSOS has joined the global movement to stand with mothers everywhere \u2014 in refugee camps, conflict zones, and vulnerable communities \u2014 to say: you are not alone.
\nBreastfeeding isn\u2019t just about food. It\u2019s the first vaccine, the first hug, the first safety net<\/strong> a child knows. In places where clean water is scarce and health systems are fragile, it can mean the difference between life and death. But too often, mothers are left without the information, space, or encouragement they need to keep going.<\/p>\n
\nBecause when a mother is empowered, a child is given a stronger start<\/strong>. And that changes everything.<\/p>\n
