Women’s Voices for the Earth (WVE) defines the environment as the places people live, work and play. It is estimated that between 80,000 and 85,000 chemicals are in use in the environment in the United States, yet only about 200 of these chemicals have been thoroughly tested for safety. Of those chemicals that have been tested, most have been evaluated only for their acute impacts to adult males in industrial settings. The chemical exposure routes and health impacts on women – especially girls, women of color and women of reproductive age – are different and have historically been largely overlooked. Learn more.
Women’s Voices for the Earth pledges to intentionally and openly join with all women to reclaim the health of our bodies from harmful chemicals in products developed for our use. We explicitly invite women of every category, grouping or assignment and all people concerned for their reproductive health, regardless of gender identity, race, age, ethnicity, or status under the law, to fully participate in the advancement of our mission to amplify women’s voices to eliminate the toxic chemicals that harm our health and communities.
