The Lincolnshire Cancer Project compiled and submitted a response to the UK Governments Women’s Health Strategy along with From Pink to Prevention, Wen (Women’s Environmental Network) and the Alliance for Cancer Prevention.
We considered there are considerable omissions in the strategy. The focus should be more on 21st century science, especially in relation to exposure to toxic chemicals in the home, workplace and in the wider environment, and impacts on women’s health. In relation to those women working in agriculture, the exposures can be great especially during planting, and picking crops.
