WABA has collaborated with the talented Ksatriya and Samwise Music to produce an amazing track for a global breastfeeding flashmob! Dance steps coming soon, but here's the full mp3 and lyrics available for download. Talk to Me! Breastfeeding - a 3D Experience calls on people to reach out and bring the breastfeeding conversations into the open! Special thanks to all the women, men, and youth who participated, along with IPG College, AIESEC USM, Fairview International School, Han Chiang High School, Girl Guides of Penang, Intel, Down Syndrome Association of Penang, Zero Fitness Dance Studio, and Gurney Plaza for their enthusiasm and support in numbers! The mosaic of faces, ethnicities, ages, and genders in the flashmob reflected exactly what this year's World Breastfeeding Week theme is all about. It�s not just a woman�s responsibility, but her extended network that provides moral and physical support. The last line of the song ��time to take your breasts back!� is about reclaiming breasts for what they�re meant for - breastfeeding. Choreographed by Aida Redza, the strong movements were symbolic gestures of shielding oneself from the dissuaders around us. Organized by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action and the local Penang Mother-to-Mother Peer Support Group, the flashmob sought to bring a clear message into a public arena � breastfeeding is natural and normal! The team collaborated with local musicians Dhanen Mahes (Ksatriya) and Samwise Wee Kee to create a hip and powerful original song called Stand Up Everybody that calls on people to listen and take notice of how breastfeeding has been distorted by sexual connotations and major milk powder and baby food companies unethically marketing their products to mothers. The impromptu dance, titled Feed the Future!, was a fun and invigorating way to involve the entire community to support and normalize breastfeeding. To commemorate the end of the international World Breastfeeding Week 2011 (1-7 August in 170+ countries) celebrations, over 100 local Penangites convened at Gurney Plaza on Sunday, 7 August 2011 and surprised shoppers with a 3 minute flashmob led by youth. �Feed the Future!� Flashmob at Gurney Plaza � 7 August, 2011.First World Breastfeeding Week Flashmob in Malaysia!.This third dimension includes cross-generation, cross-sector, cross-gender, and cross-culture communication and encourages the sharing of knowledge and experience, thus enabling wider outreach. New lines of communication are being created every day, and we have the ability to use these information channels to broaden our horizons and spread breastfeeding information beyond our immediate time and place to activate important dialogue. We live in a world where individuals and global communities connect across small and great distances at an instant's notice. But neither has much impact without a THIRD dimension - communication!Ĭommunication is an essential part of protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding. Why 3D? When we look at breastfeeding support, we tend to see it in two-dimensions: time (from pre-pregnancy to weaning) and place (the home, community, health care system, etc).The theme deals with communication at various levels and between various sectors. WABA is pleased to announce the World Breastfeeding Week theme for 2011 focusing on engaging and mobilising youth intergenerational work with the catchy slogan of: "Talk to me! Breastfeeding - a 3D Experience". Talk to me! Breastfeeding - a 3D Experience. ![]()
