Everyone deserves to live in a healthy and safe environment. That environment includes where you live, work, play, and pray. We reject and actively push back against racist rhetoric, actions, policies and institutional oppression that leads to state-sanctioned brutality, gun violence, and harm that again and again assaults communities, particularly communities of color. We are committed to working for justice and equity, and are in solidarity with social, racial, and environmental justice organizations to build community, understanding and honest dialogue to address the root causes of violence, harm and hate.

There is a growing body of literature detecting toxic chemicals in menstrual products. We still don’t know exactly what this means for our health but are concerned that some serious exposures can be happening. This peer-reviewed publication holds much of the data all in one place by compiling publicly available data and testing. The paper is an important addition to the scientific research highlighting the concerns about chemicals in menstrual products and their potential impact on our health. We know that chemicals in menstrual products are an issue and WVE has been on the case for many years. Although the issue doesn’t get the attention that it deserves, we are committed to bridging the scientific community with the research we need to keep our communities informed and safe from harmful chemicals.

The peer review was published by BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
