In our modern societies, women and men are all continually exposed to hazardous chemicals in their every day lives. But women are often differently exposed due to their (entrenched) gender roles and because of biological susceptibilities and health impacts. In this publication WECF looks at the impacts of highly hazardous pesticides, mercury, and endocrine disrupting chemicals on women’s health.

WECF – Women in Europe for a Common Future – is an international network of over 150 women’s and civil society organisations implementing projects in 50 countries and advocating globally to shape a just and sustainable world.
