Restoring dignity

For someone facing hardship, getting your period can be yet another reminder of what you don’t have. When you’re choosing between food and period products, there is no good option. Many are forced to find alternatives that no one should have to consider.

It’s hard to imagine, but it’s the reality for thousands of women, girls and those who menstruate across Australia every single month. That’s why Share the Dignity exists – to make a real difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or doing it tough. They distribute period products to women, girls, and anyone who menstruates who needs support. When someone is doing it tough, the last thing on their mind should be dealing with their period, and the charity helps to relieve that burden.

Thanks to the businesses who have partnered with them, including Happy Healthy You, The Australian Natural Soap Company, and Mary Grace over $9,000 has been paid-forward, directly impacting 1,718 people doing it tough. The generosity of the customers donating when shopping in these stores is what makes this possible.

Through every donation, you're not just giving pads or tampons, you're restoring dignity. You’re saying, “I see you. You matter.”

If you’re a Shopify business looking to help end period poverty in Australia, install our app and choose Share the Dignity as your giving partner. Together, we can create a future where access to period products is a right, not a privilege.
