WELCOME TO THE PERIOD AND MENOPAUSE EDUCATION HUB!

So, you want to know more about periods. You might have just got your first period and are after some advice; you might be feeling the hot flushes of menopause; or you might be here because you want to support those around you who menstruate - a daughter, a sibling, or even your colleagues. Whatever your reason, your period education journey begins now! 

Start your period education journey here!

KICK OFF YOUR PERIOD EDUCATION JOURNEY WITH THIS 2 MIN VIDEO

Share the Dignity has created this non-verbal menstruation animation with the aim to ensure everyone, regardless of what language they speak, is educated about menstruation. Alternatively, we also have a scripted version that has been translated into 11 of the most commonly spoken languages in Australia. 

This animation has been created in collaboration with Tasha Lawton, The Aqua English Project, Chupis, Lucy Peach and a group of refugees who generously gave their time to assist with the direction of this project.

Animation by Leon McBride, music by Felicity Groom.

Our interactive Dignity Map is Australia's first, and demonstrates the reality of menstrual inequalities in Australia. Check the map to view the statistics for your area.
