Share the Dignity - 2025

Published on 17 February 2025

Active Monash will join the fight to end period poverty and we need your help!

Period shaming and period poverty can stop women, girls and anyone who menstruates from going to work and school and fully participating in our society. We want to support anyone in our community who menstruates by raising awareness of period poverty and normalizing menstruation and wider discussions around period health.

Share the Dignity is a charity which works to make a real, on-the-ground difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or doing it tough. Each year they collect hundreds of thousands of period products through collection drives and campaigns and distribute these products to charities which assist anyone who menstruates in need of support. 

Join the fight by donating menstrual products throughout the month of March. All Active Monash facilities are collection points for sanitary and period product donations. 

The Share the Dignity donation bins accept:

• Pads
• Tampons
• Maternity pads
• Incontinence pads
• Brand new reusable pads
• Period underwear
• Menstrual cups

*All donations must be brand new, still sealed in their original packaging, and must comply with Australian quality standards. Loose pads or tampons or used reusable items are not accepted.

We want to support the people who menstruate across our entire community by raising awareness of period poverty, normalising menstruation and creating wider discussions around period health.
