Are We There Yet?
Measuring Global Progress on Protecting Breastfeeding
Which countries held formula manufacturers to account for predatory marketing – and which still had far to go?
Attendees were updated on the status of enacting, monitoring, and enforcing the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes around the globe.
They learned about the key recommendations to protect the health of mothers and infants from misleading marketing of formula and related products.
Countries shared what worked – and the hurdles they still faced – in protecting the health of mothers and infants from predatory marketing practices.
The webinar elevated the findings of the 2024 Code Status Report. The report included an accounting of the legal status of the Code and processes for monitoring and enforcement to ensure the effectiveness of those laws.
Hosted by UNICEF, the World Health Organization and the Global Breastfeeding Collective.
