Trip to the United Nations to speak March 2025
March 5, 2025 at UN Headquarters in NYC, the UN Institute on Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) held a side session adding to the fabric of the third Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) . The event was well attended with standing room only.
We were honored to have the President of the TPNW meeting, the Ambassador from Kazakhstan, the Honorable Akan Rakhemetullin present on our panel, and Ambassadors of Austria, the Honorable Alexander Kmentt and Mexico, the Honorable Alicia Buenrostro as discussants, and closing remarks from the Ambassador of Ireland, the Honorable Nuala Ni Mhuircheartaigh.
Joining GRIP Founder, Mary Olson at the UN, was Dr Amanda M Nichols, a research scholar in Environmental Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Dr Nichols is Lead Author, with Mary, on the report that was presented in the session:
Gender and Radiation: Towards a New Research Agenda, Addressing Disproportionate Harm
You can read or download the report on the above link for no charge.
** Special thanks to United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research for support and publication of this report, and to the Union of Concerned Scientists Science for Public Good Fund for support printing hardcopies of the report. **Gender and Radiation: Towards a New Research Agenda, Addressing Disproportionate Harm
Thank you for your ongoing interest and all of your support!
In 2011, Mary Olson of Nuclear Information and Resource Service published an independent analysis of a National Academy of Sciences report which found that women suffer greater harm from radiation exposure than men.
The same year, the World Health Organization published a major report on the impact of the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan, which also found that girls will be disproportionately harmed by radiation.
These critical yet under-reported findings led to the creation of the Gender and Radiation Impact Project, a 501(c)3 educational and funding nonprofit that works at the intersection of public health, medicine, and public policy. We bring together top thinkers to understand the role biological sex plays in harm from radiation.
Join the Gender + Radiation Impact Project (GRIP) in jump-starting a five-year effort to broaden research on the impact of radiation to include girls, women and the entire human life-cycle.
