About this publication This publication was made possible thanks to the financial and expert support of UNEP. This publication aims to provide knowledge and perspectives on the issue of women and chemicals. It was prepared by WECF and developed based on an expert workshop organised jointly with UNEP in Geneva. The experts helped to identify the themes for the publication and sources of data and information, and were engaged in the reviewing of the publication. WECF is grateful for the support provided by UNEP without this publication would not have been possible.
