Women of color face many obstacles to accessing the outdoors, including a lack of safety, racism, sexism, and distance to outdoor spaces. Research shows that being outdoors can significantly improve the physical and mental health of people, but not everyone has access equally, including women of color and especially Indigenous women, who are often barred from accessing land that belongs to them.
