Here are the solutions and actions that you can advocate for to push back against these structural inequalities:

1. Ensure parents have access to free comprehensive and accurate information about breastfeeding through different channels

2. Include breastfeeding education in school curricula

3. Advocate for coordination of breastfeeding on a national level

4. Monitor and identify gaps in IYCF policies and programmes at national level using existing tools

5. Implement and monitor national Codes of marketing of breastmilk substitutes with sanctions when violations occur

6. Advocate for national Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) policy to be implemented in each country

7. Implement national policies that promote flexible and familyfriendly workplaces to support breastfeeding

8. Create emergency policies that are supportive of breastfeeding and sound IYCF practices
