We were heartbroken and shocked reading this article of the reality of being inside one of Queensland's women's prisons. Some beds were covered in menstrual blood and some women were even forced to hold a pad between their legs because they weren’t given proper underwear.

We have officially installed 1,000 Dignity Vending Machines across Australia! 🎉 Our Dignity Vending Machines provide free access to period products, discreetly and with dignity, and were created because of the heartbreaking reality of period poverty in Australia.

We are so grateful to have been able to ship over 350,000 period products to remote Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities. Today and every day, we are committed to working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to combat period poverty.

What a misleading headline… While this news of the roll-out starting is fantastic, as we relocate our Victoria Dignity Vending Machines to other states it would be nice if the hard work we had been doing with our Dignity Vending Machines in the state wasn’t disregarded.

THE BEST EMAIL EVER! "A re-elected Miles Labor Government will commence a staged approach to rolling out access to free period products in public facing government buildings. We look forward to an opportunity to work with Share the Dignity to prioritise appropriate locations."

We look forward to better health & menstrual equity outcomes for Tas. In Tas 10% of menstruators have experienced period poverty in the last 12 months, and 69% have found it difficult to afford period products. Here's hoping we see these stats improve before our next survey🙏

Pads are the most requested item by our charities and by far the most donated item. Tampons and period products that are inserted aren't for everyone, so pads are a great option that comes in many different forms. Donate pads this August. sharethedignity.org.au/digni…

We believe everyone should have the freedom of choice when it comes to managing their period. Tampons are a close second for the most requested period product by our charities and we never collect enough of them! Find your closest collection point here: sharethedignity.org.au/digni…

WOW, what an incredible journey it has been since our very first Dignity Drive in 2015! Back then, our Founder, Rochelle, collected 450 packets of period products. Since then, we have collected 4.8 million period products! Thank you to all of you that has made this possible 🩷

“A pad is, I know it's sticky. It's got some sticky things on it. And I thought you just stuck that on your vagina” Yep, Share the Dignity AMBASSADOR Christian Hull said that 😂😂😂 Listen to our latest ep of Another Bloody Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
