Sub-theme: Systems that Support, Rights that Protect - Advancing Equity for Breastfeeding Mothers

Breastfeeding cannot thrive without strong systems and rights-based protections. On the final day, the conference will focus on building inclusive health systems, workplaces, and legal frameworks that enable mothers to breastfeed without barriers. Participants will examine maternity protection, workplace support, and ethical partnerships—culminating in a roadmap for regional reforms. The day will close with a unifying call to action: advancing equity, dignity, and systemic support for breastfeeding families across Southeast Asia.
