In Photos: Women Worldwide Celebrate Breastfeeding

Kono, Sierra Leone

Tenneh Mansaray breastfeeds her nine-day-old son, Manso Turay. ‘Nancy [the community health worker in her village] made me understand the benefits of going for clinic sessions when I am pregnant and also giving birth there,’ says Mansaray. ‘I don’’t mind walking four miles to get to the health facility because I know that the care I receive there I can’’t get in my village.’
