A new international framework is to be adopted at the World Chemicals Conference in Bonn in September. Until now, chemicals management has mostly been gender-blind. To change this women and gender organizations participated in the preparatory conference (SAICM IP4.2) in Nairobi - see my brief report about our activities below.

If you want to engage in the SAICM process or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. We need more women power and expertise on chemicals and waste on our way to the World Chemicals Conference!
