Law and Policy Reform

WHEN has been engaging in evidence-based law and policy reform for 30 years, in collaboration with value-aligned organizations. We advocate for stronger laws and policies that address the health inequities faced by women, BIPOC communities and other marginalized populations due to toxic substance exposures. WHEN conducts law and policy reform through an intersectional feminist lens (informed by the gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) methodology) to ensure our advocacy is inclusive and advances environmental justice.

Arts and Community Education

WHEN is built on a strong foundation of community-led, multidisciplinary and arts-driven knowledge sharing.
