Womens Voices for the Earth

Women’s Voices for the Earth is a non-profit organization based in Missoula, Montana, with a staff of four employees. Founded in 1995, the organization focuses on advocating for the elimination of harmful chemicals in consumer products. Women’s Voices for the Earth works to reduce exposure to toxic chemicals in everyday products by targeting industries that primarily market to women, such as cleaning products, menstrual and intimate care products, and cosmetics. They aim to increase corporate accountability and transparency regarding ingredient lists, promote the development and use of safer alternatives, and inform consumers about the potential health risks associated with certain chemicals. The organization employs a multi-pronged approach, combining market-based campaigns that pressure companies to reformulate products with policy advocacy efforts aimed at enacting legislation that protects public health. Their work has led to significant changes within major consumer product companies and the implementation of policies that prioritize women's health.
