Early in 2015, an article by Mia Freedman published on Mamamia caught our attention. We were shocked to learn that in Australia many homeless women and women in domestic violence shelters had to face unthinkable indignities during their monthly period. For these vulnerable and at risk women, each month brought a shameful and traumatic experience, suffering indignities such as having to clean themselves in public toilets and use paper towels or newspaper to create makeshift sanitary pads. Reading it from the comfort of our homes, with the knowledge that many Australian women couldn’t take hygiene for granted during menstruation, we knew we couldn’t allow it to continue. 

In April and August we hold our #dignitydrive for sanitary items, Collection points around Australia help us in our mission to ensure every woman has dignity when dealing with her monthly period. 
In November we hold our #itsinthebag collection providing a gift to a woman in need at christmas time
We also hold several events throughout the year starting with our DigniTEA in May, Yoga4Dignity in September and #istandup in October. 
Funds and products raised go towards our projects supporting women in need, providing dignity when dealing with their monthly period and funding projects such as our #Pinkbox Dignity Vending Machines, Because We Care and Activities4All 

We are so excited to announce that Rebecca Gibney one of Australia’s most beloved and respected actresses is now Sharing the Dignity as our Patron.
