Our current initiative MMIEEP (Managing Menstruation in Extreme Environments Project), is a long-term research project which aims to identify and explore issues around menstruation in extreme or challenging environments around the world. The project aims to produce practical information and guidance for women and girls. We hope the project activities will encourage solidarity between women, and promote their health and wellbeing in the context of outdoor activities and adventure travel.

This summer we are participating in the Social Impact Internship Scheme with a research project exploring perceptions of adventure among women from ethnic minority communities in Bristol. This will gather first hand views, opinions and experiences, exploring what ‘Adventure’ means to women from different cultural backgrounds, potential barriers to participation, and possible opportunities for enhancing access and inclusivity in our own activities and more widely.
