UNICEF Armenia is launching a breast feeding campaign in Armenia, the press office of the organization has told ArmInfo. The campaign will be held in Yerevan, as well as in Lori, Shirak, Armavir and Ararat provinces of Armenia. To participate in the project, one should submit a photo on the breastfeeding topic and a story about the advantages and disadvantages of breastfeeding, the source says.
The authors of the best photos will get an opportunity to participate in a professional photo shoot session. The photos will be put up to voting and the best photos from each province of the country will appear on the main posters of the campaign. The winners will also receive prizes. Upon completion of the campaign, the posters will appear at the medical centers, polyclinics, kindergartens of the provinces and Yerevan, the source says.
The breastfeeding campaign is being held at the initiative of UNICEF and Family Academy with the support of the Armenian Health Ministry.
