    AbstractThis case study of women's influence on international environmental health policy making examines the development and implementation of the May 2004 Stockholm Convention for Persistent Organic Pollutants. The role of women's non-governmental organizations and theoretical concepts of empowerment are analyzed. Specific "gender" strategies are identified as part of advocacy by women in negotiations leading to the Convention. Findings from a 2004 survey of governments are presented outlining national activities with respect to clauses of the agreement relevant for women and children.
