概要

 Happy Wednesday! We're back for Episode 3 of Season 2, and it's with none other than Founder and Managing Director of Share the Dignity, Rochelle Courtenay! Nicknamed ‘The Pad Lady’, Rochelle is a woman on a mission to end period poverty, and break the silence and stigma that surrounds women and periods in Australia and globally. She’s the Founder and Managing Director of Share the Dignity, a charity she started single-handedly in 2015 when she discovered that women in need in Australia had no access to period products during their menstrual cycle. Share the Dignity started from a simple, grassroots idea of wanting to improve the lives of disadvantaged women, and Rochelle forged ahead on the belief that one person could indeed make a difference. Along the way, her dedication inspired others to join in. Today, she leads a team of over 5500 volunteers determined to bring a ray of hope and light into the lives of homeless women and those fleeing from abuse and domestic violence. Share the Dignity has donated over 2.8 million period products (over 37 million dollars’ worth) through multiple initiatives across Australia. Rochelle has also won recognition and accolades for her work including Finalist Australian of the Year, Cosmopolitan Humanitarian of the Year and Pride of Australia.

In this chat we talk on:
  • When Rochelle realised having painful and heavy periods wasn’t normal, and that she actually had endometriosis
  • What prompted Rochelle to start Share The Dignity
  • The first Dignity Drive, where she organised with women in her community to donate 450 packets of pads and tampons to women in need
  • How Rochelle evolved and grew Share The Dignity to have now collected over 2.8million period products and collection boxes in every Woolworths across Australia
  • The highlights of Share The Dignity so far
  • All about Period Pride and the Bloody Big Survey and how you can get involved
  • What’s coming up next for Share The Dignity
  • How you can support Share The Dignity
  • Plus so much more
