The U.S. Breastfeeding Committee released the recording for the “New Rights for Lactating Students: Supporting Lactating Students Under Title IX” webinar. Beginning in August 2024, students will have the legal right to lactation breaks, space, and other accommodations. To help education institutions, lactation support providers, and advocates understand what the new protections mean for lactating students, this webinar offers an overview of the new legal obligations as well as practical solutions for educational institutions looking to add lactation spaces and other supports for their employees and students. This educational opportunity was presented by the USBC-affiliated Workplace Support Constellation and co-hosted by BreastfeedLA, the California Breastfeeding Coalition, the Center for WorkLife Law, Every Mother, Inc., HealthConnect One, the Healthy Children Project, Healthy Horizons Corporate Lactation Services, the Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition, MomsRising, the Ohio Breastfeeding Alliance, and the U.S. Breastfeeding Committee.
