Film premiere: what does chemicals have to do with gender? (UNEA3 resistance event)
05.12.2017 | Nairobi, UNEA 3, "Green Tent" - 12:00-14:00
ABOUT
In cooperation with Balifokus, Women Environmental Programme (WEP), the Women's Major Group and IPEN, WECF is organising a Film Première of the film "What has Gender got to do with Chemicals?"
The movie shows how POPs, hazardous chemcals and waste have different exposures and impacts on women's and men's health.
WEP Nigeria and WECF carried out a scoping study, including the filming of a documentary film, to study the dimensions of implementing the BRS (Basel-Stockhom-Rotterdam) Conventions.
Earlier this year these partners organised a multi-stakeholder forum on the topic of Gender and the BRS Conventions in the Nigerian capital, Abuja. Main focus was to understand the gender dimensions of the health impacts of hazardous chemicals and waste and how gender roles and occupations influence exposure to hazardous chemicals and waste.
The findings were presented in a case study at the BRS Conventions in Geneva late April.
