The Gendered Intimacies Project (UK-based research initiative)

The Gendered Intimacies Project is a UK-based research initiative that explores how gender influences people's intimate relationships and connections, including friendships, family ties, and romantic partnerships. It examines how social norms and cultural expectations shape these interactions, affecting everything from emotional expression to physical closeness. By analyzing diverse experiences across different genders, the project aims to understand the complexities of intimacy in contemporary society and contribute to discussions about gender equality, mental health, and social well-being. Ultimately, it seeks to enhance our understanding of how intimacy is experienced differently based on gender.
