Thai play in the I WABA Forum.

he WABA Global Forum provides an opportunity for exchange of experiences, knowledge, skills and information on breastfeeding, young child nutrition, children's health, women's rights and children's rights. Whereas traditionally health and nutrition have been approached mainly from a scientific angle, this Forum attempts to place these concerns within their social, economic and ethical context as well. It is a rallying point to move beyond the Innocenti Declaration goals and to widen the issue of young child nutrition to its ethical and practical dimensions which include the rights of children and women.
