See the President's daughter responds to critics after breastfeeding picture goes viral

Aliya Shagieva, the youngest daughter of the president of Kyrgyztan, has spoken out after she was criticised for posting a picture on social media of herself breastfeeding.

Taken from above her, Ms Shagieva appeared near naked in the image as she fed her five-month-old son Tagir.
Posted on Instagram in April, it ran alongside the caption: "I will feed my child whenever and wherever he needs to be fed."

In an interview with the BBC, Ms Shagieva said a culture which over-sexualises the female body caused the outrage, rather than the image itself.
"This body I've been given is not vulgar, it is functional,” said the 20-year-old artist. "Its purpose is to fulfil the physiological needs of my baby, not to be sexualised."
"When I'm breastfeeding my child, I feel like I'm giving him the best I can give. Taking care of my baby and attending to his needs is more important to me than what people say about me."

 But after she was attacked on social media and accused of "immoral behaviour", she took the image down. - Independent
