Share the Dignity

In 2015, Share the Dignity was founded identifying there was a genuine need to provide vulnerable women in our community with essential sanitary products. It was reported that these women are often forced to choose between buying food to eat, or buying expensive sanitary items to get through their periods. Women and children, either homeless or in shelters, were having to clean themselves in public toilets and use paper towels to create makeshift sanitary pads. This is not, and should never be okay. From a grassroots local community initiative to a national charity, Share the Dignity has struck a chord with the Australian public and continues to evolve in order to provide for the needs of at-risk women and children.
Our programs include:
• Bi-annual Dignity Collection Drives, ‘It’s in the Bag’ Christmas Drive, Pinkbox Dignity Vending Machines, DigniTEA High Tea Fundraising events, Handbags with Heart Social Enterprise, Move4Dignity Fundraising events and Indigenous Menstrual Health education programs.
Share the Dignity continues to grow with the support of passionate volunteers and the generosity of Australian businesses, ensuring that everyone is afforded the dignity in life that many of us take for granted.
