After multiple brainstorming sessions and careful consideration of the community’s urgent concerns and extensive research, the Muslim Women’s Council Think Tank programme is publishing its first report.

The Muslim Women’s Council Think Tank programme is publishing its second report ‘The right to happiness’: Re/Marriage after 40 Muslim Women’s Views and Experiences.

Beyond Stigma: Muslim women’s views and experiences on mental health is the fourth report of the Muslim Women’s Council’s Think Tank programme.

Hop on is a community organisation providing vital support in Bradford, working on improving physical and mental health through activities such as cycling, yoga and coaching tailored to each individual.

The organisation has been running since 2016 and has 3000 people registered with them. The majority of these women are from a South Asian background; a community in which cycling is the exception, rather than the norm. 

This study looks at how the pandemic has affected the local communities and how the decisions that were made on a national level affected Muslim women in Bradford.
