This powerful and important article by Tabitha Lean and Debbie Kilroy, published to Croakey Health Media, highlights the abhorrent conditions of menstruators in one of Queensland's women's prisons, after being exposed by the Queensland Ombudsman recently, including restricted access to menstrual products and lack of basic hygiene. This is a human rights issue, and no one should be denied the ability to manage their period with dignity. At Share the Dignity, we believe access to period products is a basic need, not a privilege, and we continue to advocate for systemic change to ensure dignity for all.

Trigger Warning: Maternal and infant mortality, childbirth complications. At Share the Dignity, we believe that every woman, girl, and menstruator deserves the right to access safe, dignified healthcare, no matter where they live. Today, on World Health Day, we’re reflecting on heartbreaking statistics from the World Health Organization: • 300,000 women die each year from complications during childbirth • 2 million babies don’t survive their first month of life • Another 2 million are stillborn These are not just numbers. They are lives. Many of these deaths are preventable with access to proper healthcare, hygiene, and support. Our work, ensuring women, girls, and menstruators in Australia have access to period products, essential care, and dignity, is part of a much bigger picture. Health equity starts with dignity, and dignity starts with the basics. We stand in solidarity with organisations and communities around the world advocating for healthcare as a human right. Because no one should have to choose between health and dignity.

This superstar volunteer has been busy with some bountiful charity deliveries in Illawara, NSW, recently! 🫶 1. Illawara Helping Hands were thrilled to receive 190 period products. They do incredible on-the-ground work for those doing it tough in their community. 2. Illawara Multicultural Services received 480 period products and were so grateful with their three huge bags! This team offer essential services to linguistically and culturally diverse communities. A huge THANK YOU to those who donated and help to make all of this possible. We couldn't do what we do without you! 💝
