The Equal Rights Review, Vol Nine
The Convention on the Rights of the Child condemns 'all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation', and yet cultural practices often tolerate or even encourage some forms of violence, such as corporal punishment, genital mutilation or forced early marriage. This issue of Early Childhood Matters aims to contribute to the debate around the concept and practice of violence, abuse and neglect. Includes case studies of projects designed to reduce violence at home, in schools and in the streets
This issue looks at the merits of breastfeeding and suggests ways for programmes and providers to help women improve breastfeeding practices.

Includes an outline of Madagascar's policy approach and a discussion on breastfeeding as a contraceptive option
