Share the Dignity with women in remote Indigenous communities
Aboriginal Way - A podcast by SA Native Title Services - Tuesdays

When Rochelle Courtenay first learnt of women experiencing homelessness going without basic sanitary items, she decided the question was not, "why is no one doing anything" but rather, "what's stopping me from doing something?" In March 2015, Rochelle took matters into her own hands by collecting sanitary items with her local community and distributing to local shelters. As a result, a simple idea of giving dignity to women, Share the Dignity was created and has grown to become a national charity over the last 5 and a half years. It now has more than 5,000 volunteers Australia wide, and most noteworthy, provides multiple initiatives aimed at giving dignity to women. Share the Dignity is not only for women experiencing homelessness, however; it's also for those without access to personal hygiene products, such as women living in remote Indigenous communities.
