Franc x Share The Dignity

We are so excited to announce that we are now an official supporter of Share The Dignity! Share the Dignity works to make a real, on-the-ground difference in the lives of women and girls experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence or doing it tough by distributing sanitary items to those in need and work to end period poverty here in Australia. When a tween, teen or woman is doing it tough, the last thing on her mind should be dealing with her period.

So to launch this amazing partnership we are releasing a beautiful Share The Dignity x Franc bracelet. Stretchy, durable and fun with a pop of ‘Share The Dignity’ pink and a stunning pearl they are easy to wear and perfect for tween girls. What’s more, $1 from every sale will go straight to the charity. Feel good fashion at its finest!

DID YOU KNOW?

Share the Dignity has just released the inaugural Period Pride report, which is based on responses from more than 125,000 Australians. It found that;

• More than 1 in 5 (22%) people who menstruate have had to improvise on period products due to the cost.

• Close to half (49%) of respondents admitted that they have worn a pad or tampon for more than four hours because they didn’t have enough products to get by.

• 74% of students at school with their period said they found it difficult to concentrate.

• Some respondents started their period as early as 10 or younger, so this shows that we need to have an open dialogue around menstruation much earlier – not at age 11 or 12 as is the current approach in the school curriculum.
