Breastfeeding pics donated to Formentera hospital

Foto donacio fotografies lactanciaThe Formentera Council has donated a selection of photographs that were on display from March 1 to 10 at the municipal exhibition hall as part of a photo contest on Eivissa and Formentera's nursing mothers. Council chair Jaume Ferrer was joined by the managing director of the Pityusic Islands' health office, Yago Gómez, in signing off on the donation.

The gift follows last September's maiden run in the Pityuses of an initiative to encourage photography of nursing mothers, part of World Breastfeeding Week. Aimed at bringing to the fore issues faced by breastfeeding mothers, the challenge also sought to normalise nursing and use photography as a lever to raise awareness about its artfulness.

The Formentera Council staged a photo exhibition in the gallery of the former town hall, Ajuntament Vell, and has now opted to donate the prints. The bid is part of an effort to promote policies related to gender, women and job-family balance.
