Vincentia High School had a #Pinkbox Dignity Vending Machine donated by Share the Dignity. It has been installed in the student toilet adjacent to the sick bay in the front office. The #Pinkbox, is a vending machine that dispenses a FREE pack of 6 tampons and 2 pads, allowing women and girls to discretely get the sanitary items that they need.
Share The Dignity are passionate about ensuring women and girls live a life of dignity and safety. They believe that access to pads and tampons is a right, not a privilege and that no woman should ever have to choose between eating and managing their period. No girl should ever miss a day of education because she can’t afford sanitary items. Share The Dignity will continue to keep the vending machine stocked with free products for our students. Our heartfelt thanks goes to the local Share The Dignity team for supporting our school with this wonderful initiative.
Members of the public who wish to help Share the Dignity in their goal to eradicate period poverty are urged to donate unopened packs of sanitary products during the organisation’s April and August Dignity Drives. Collection points are available throughout the state during April and August, and can be found at: https://www.sharethedignity.com.au/dignity-drive-collection-points/
