Each year, from 1-7 August, countries, organizations and nutrition champions celebrate World Breastfeeding Week all over the world. In 2022, under its theme ‘Step up for Breastfeeding - Educate and Support’, this week will be critical to raise awareness around the importance of breastfeeding as a fundament of good nutrition, food security and reduction of inequalities.

This year’s World Breastfeeding Week comes at a critical time for the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement's 65 Countries currently focusing on safeguarding and advancing national nutrition efforts while dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing global food and nutrition crisis.

This is why seeing countries stepping up for breastfeeding this year is more important and remarkable than ever.
