 WBW
Themes
Each unique,
captivating and issue specific theme has given a clear focus for
organising WBW activities. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative
(BFHI) is a good example of a very specific theme that focused
global attention on activities that aim to change hospital practices
worldwide to support breastfeeding.
 It
is worth noting the titles of all WBW themes to date to get a
sense of the different dimensions of the breastfeeding issue that
have been highlighted for global action.
These include
health care systems, women's employment and women's work, marketing
practices of breastmilk substitute companies, national laws and
practices on breastmilk substitute, community action, ecology,
economy, science and education and human rights.
