Information

Women and children are especially vulnerable to the toxic effects of chemicals. Women, in particular, may have varying susceptibility to toxic chemical exposure due to physiological differences and factors related to their reproductive cycles. It is crucial to ensure gender equality and empower women and girls to play critical roles, particularly in decision-making around, toxic chemical exposure, pollution prevention and waste management.
