Gender and Radiation Impact Project Information

The mission of Gender and Radiation Impact Project is to catalyze better choices for preventing unintended exposure to low-level ionizing radiation and an overall reduction in harm – for everyone, but especially little girls who are most impacted by radiation exposure. Gender Impact and Radiation Project envisions a world where the needs of girls, women, and all stages of the life cycle are widely factored into health regulations and safety procedures. We also seek a future where all people are fully informed with the knowledge to better protect themselves and where: - Leaders at every level of education and training – from medical and technical to industrial and laboratory – re-think radiation impacts and take necessary precautions to protect everyone - Legislators, licensing agencies, and regulators proactively support policies for harm reduction - National and global energy and security decisions will choose non-nuclear, non-radiological options to preserve the health and viability of future generations - Parents and doctors better protect those most vulnerable to radiation, particularly young girls and their future children
