#freethebreast
Coming back to make more trouble, The Breast Show II returns this August. In a society and culture where a breastfeeding mother in public is sometimes prohibited and often met with disdain, the goals of the show remain the same: normalize the female breast and promote breastfeeding. The exhibition will be held in August in conjunction with National Breast Feeding Month, World Breastfeeding Week, and Black Breastfeeding Week.
We believe that our exhibition last year had a trickle down effect of helping to close gender gaps and promote equality. We were encouraged to learn that since the announcement of the first show, the last few holdout states have come on board by changing their laws to permit breastfeeding in public.
