Exploring the support services for
Black and Racially Minoritised women, trans and non-binary people experiencing the menopause
The Habari Project seeks to better understand the taboos, practices and support in place to those experiencing the menopause.
To uncover the unmet needs of people living with the menopause the Habari Project seeks to look beyond just those who have been diagnosed or self-identify as experiencing the menopause. We will be seeking to better understand, what, if any, cultural, systemic and personal factors have shaped experiences and to what extent.
Please note, while we use the word woman, this is not meant to exclude people with other gender identities. We recognise that not all people who experience menopause identify as women.
Confidentiality is important to us and as such, we have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that we maintain any confidential information shared. With the exception of the 1-2-1 interview consideration at the end, this is the only time we have asked for your permission to share information that is personal. It is optional and therefore you do not have to share or complete that section.
​
Best regards and look forward to receiving your response.

Take Our New Survey
The survey will take about 14 minutes and we hope you will be able to assist, as the outcome will inform practices in supporting those with menopausal symptoms and/or going through the process..
You can watch highlights from the launch of the Our Menopause film here. We would love to hear from you if you'd like to share a menopause experience, take part in the menopause research or to make a request for a film showing and chat in your local area.
Excerpt from 'OUR MENOPAUSE'
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our valued team member, Yvonne Witter
Yvonne was a powerhouse and was beloved by many from all walks of life. Throughout her life she was an Activist, Strategist, Author, Researcher and a champion of Equality and Social Justice.
Yvonne will be deeply missed by us all.
In remembrance of our dear friend and colleague, it is with much sadness that we share the news of the passing of our much appreciated team member Tashini Jones. Her absence will certainly be felt.
Now our thoughts and prayers are with Tashini's family and loved ones as they navigate through this profound loss. May they find comfort in the cherished memories and the enduring legacy of their loved one.
