Read more about Share the Dignity:
Since Share the Dignity was founded, we have been able to donate 2.5 million period products to those in need through our Dignity Drives and It’s In The Bag campaign.
Your generosity has changed the lives of so many across Australia and we are so thankful. We donate thousands of packets of unopened period products to our partner charities to help women doing it tough. From women experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, and those doing it tough. We believe every woman deserves the right to her dignity.
It’s almost time for our August Dignity Drive!
With COVID-19 forcing our March Dignity Drive to end earlier than we planned, we are so excited to be back for our August drive to donate much needed period products to those in need across the country. After the fall out of the pandemic, we predict more and more Aussies will be in need of our help and we need your generous donations to do so.
What period products do you accept?
We accept sanitary items including pads, maternity pads, incontinence pads, new reusable pads, tampons, period-proof underwear and menstrual cups. We collect this variety of period products so every woman receives her preferred item and can be empowered to take control of her period, her way.
All donations must be brand new, still sealed in their original packaging and must comply with Australian quality standards. We do this because no woman should have to choose between a tampon and a meal.
When you donate period products to Share The Dignity, you’re donating to a charity that directly supports women in need. You’re giving a woman experiencing homelessness or financial crisis the essentials, so she doesn’t need to choose between food and dignity. The idea that women around the country are using socks or toilet paper instead of sanitary items needs to change and we need your help.
Next time you’re doing your shopping, keep in mind: one for me, one for her.
