Breastfeeding: It's Your Right, is the slogan selected for World Breastfeeding Week 2000, intended to highlight breastfeeding as a human right. This ties in with existing international agreements, such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women, which establish rights for women and children.

Breastfeeding is a right for every mother and child, and is essential to fulfill every child's right to receive adequate food along with the highest attainable standard of health.
