Germany



In Germany WECF concerns itself with projects such as Chemicals in Everyday Life, organic agriculture and sustainable development and climate protection. Lobbying and press actions are used by WECF to support the European chemicals directive REACH, because women are especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of dangerous chemicals. In co-operation with Unser Land WECF supports farmers in Eastern Europe with the production of organic farm products. WECF uses gripping press actions to highlight climate protection policies.
