Creating period-friendly workplaces

DID YOU KNOW
THE AVERAGE MENSTRUATOR MISSES 6 DAYS OF WORK PER YEAR DUE TO THEIR PERIOD?

We want to give you the tools to support your staff and colleagues in the best way you can. Maybe that means implementing period education, getting involved in some of our initiatives, or providing free period products in your workplace's bathrooms. You can make a real impact!

Share the Dignity has created this short guide to help you support your staff and colleagues who menstruate.

Backed up with stats and figures from our 2024 Bloody Big Survey Report, this guide presents the benefits of implementing small changes to support those who menstruate in your workplace.

 56%  of respondents to our 2024 Bloody Big Survey missed work due to their period.

is the total dollar figure that we can attribute to missed work days due to periods per year.

This shows more needs to be done to make workplaces period friendly.

JOIN THE MENSTRUAL MOVEMENT

Commit to taking meaningful actions through leasing our Dignity Vending Machine (DVM) or purchasing our Dignity Dispensers. The machines dispense a specially designed Period Pack containing 6 tampons and 2 period pads, offering a choice of product and ideally enough to support anyone through a full day of menstruation.

By installing a Dignity Vending Machine or Dispenser, not only are you supporting your employees and patrons, but the funds raised through this program increase your organisations social impact by helping to fund the mission to end period poverty and the vulnerable communities that we support.

At Share the Dignity, we are passionate about empowering and supporting people to live a life of dignity and safety.
