Through her Instagram post on Monday (18/12), Awkarin gave a quite striking response. According to Awkarin, breastfeeding is a right for every baby. However, breastfeeding in public is sometimes still considered as pornography. She compared it to the treatment in some other countries.
"Yesterday, a mother who documented the process of breastfeeding her baby at the hospital and uploaded the video on social media became a topic of discussion for many people. They wondered why her nipple was not censored or the video was not cut, some even said whether the editor was careless or it was just a marketing trick. However, breastfeeding a baby is not a sexual activity. Should a mother hide to feed her child, so that no man gets stimulated?," Awkarin wrote in the caption of her post.
