Women of Color on Creating a Safe and Inclusive Outdoors Social Media Toolkit

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. Since the outdoors sector has often excluded them, women of color have created their own communities and spaces to help one another heal and connect with nature. When public lands are supposed to be a space for everyone, how do organizations and individuals work to create a more equitable and accessible outdoors? Join Green 2.0 for a discussion with outdoors leaders on why making space for women of color in nature is so important and how we can create welcoming and safe outdoor communities for all.
