Mothers Demand Acceptance: The #ichstillwoichwill Movement Challenges Breastfeeding Stigmas
A powerful photo campaign highlights the ongoing stigma surrounding public breastfeeding.
Mothers in Berlin are taking a stand against the stigma of breastfeeding in public through the #ichstillwoichwill photo campaign. Despite being a natural act, breastfeeding continues to provoke discomfort and criticism in everyday settings.
The initiative gained momentum after a mother was asked to stop breastfeeding in a shopping center, sparking protests and drawing national attention. Participants are capturing images of breastfeeding in various public spaces, aiming to normalize and celebrate this essential act of care.
