In this episode of Another Bloody Podcast, Share the Dignity founder Rochelle Courtenay sits down with Carol Vale, proud Dungati woman and founder of Murawin, a First Nations-led consultancy driving change across culture, community and social impact.

Carol shares her experience growing up on an Aboriginal mission, where access to period products was limited and conversations around menstruation were guided by cultural practices and the concept of women’s business. Together, they explore the complexities of delivering period products into remote First Nations communities, the importance of cultural safety, and why access alone is not enough without education, trust and respect.

This conversation highlights the often-overlooked barriers faced by First Nations women and girls, from affordability and access to stigma and shame, and the critical role community-led solutions play in creating lasting change.Because true menstrual equity means ensuring every woman and girl can manage her period with dignity, in a way that respects her culture, her community, and her identity.
