The year 11 Community and Family Services students of Bishop Druitt College are keen to support and raise awareness for the campaign 'Share the Dignity'.

Share The Dignity’s philosophy is that no woman should suffer the indignity of choosing between eating and buying sanitary items.

The reality is that they too often do. 

There are currently 120 000 homeless people living in Australia (Homelessness Australia) of whom 42 per cent are female 

The number one (55%) cause of homelessness in women is domestic violence 

One recurring challenge homeless women have to deal with, on top of their other struggles, is their period.

The aim is to provide homeless and at risk women locally with sanitary products to allow them a sense of dignity at a time when they need it most. 

No woman should suffer the indignity of choosing between eating and buying sanitary items. 

They collect every year for certain months. This year we will collect at Bishop Druitt College in August.

Listen to BDC students, Imogen Grebert and Eibhlin Keefe sharing how BDC is supporting this local cause during the August Dignity Drive, and how you can help.
