Women and girls

The Minamata Convention on Mercury pays specific attention to the needs of vulnerable populations, especially women and children, in several parts of its text. Gender concerns are embedded in the preamble and various articles of the Convention. The Convention’s primary objective is to protect human health and the environment from the adverse effects of mercury; integral to this commitment is the understanding that some populations are distinctly vulnerable to ambient, occupational, or consumption exposures, and that there is considerable socio-environmental variability in the effects of mercury.
