EOC Chairperson to voice support for “Say Yes to Breastfeeding” campaign

This Friday (17 December 2021), EOC Chairperson, Mr Ricky CHU Man-kin will attend a ceremony recognising the new batch of organisations who have joined the Say Yes to Breastfeeding campaign this year.

The campaign, initiated in 2015 by the Hong Kong Committee for UNICEF in collaboration with the Food and Health Bureau and the Department of Health, seeks to drum up support for breastfeeding women among all sectors in society. To date, over 1 360 workplaces and 470 premises have pledged their support.

Scheduled for 3:15pm to 4:45pm on 17 December at Urban Sky, 9/F, Hysan Place, the ceremony will feature a chit-chat session between Mr Chu and Mrs Viola WONG HO Suk-ying, Member of Womens Commission about how the Sex Discrimination Ordinance protects women’s right to breastfeed, and what concrete measures organisations can take to foster a breastfeeding-friendly culture for employees and customers alike.
