Atomic Radiation is More Harmful to Women
All -- Resources on the greater impact of ionizing radiation on women and children (especially girls) are posted here:
http://www.nirs.org/radiation/radhealth/radhealthhome.htm
This applies to NUCLEAR ENERGY, NUCLEAR / RADIOLOGICAL WEAPONS, MEDICAL APPLICATIONS and ENVIRONMENTAL / FOOD and WATER CONTAMINATION.
All women, all girls... men get cancer too, but not as much at same level of dose.
There is a 2-page "hand-out", an 8-page briefing paper (written for lay people) and two short videos by Ian Goddard on related radiation + disease issues on the link above.
I am attaching the PDF files here, but go to the link to see the videos.

About
The Women's Major Group (WMG) was created as one of nine Major Groups after the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro. This list serve is for members of the Women Major Group following the Post Rio+20 process (Financing SD, SDGs-post2015) as well as for members of the Women Major Group following Environment processes (UNEP). The Operating Partners (OPs) of the Post Rio+20 process that coordinate the group rotate periodically. The current WMG OPs are Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF) and Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN) supported by a core group including the Women's Environment and Development Organization(WEDO) and Global Forest Coalition (GFC).
