Rochelle Courtena - Share the Dignity Founder

 

What happens when you see a problem and decide you can no longer ignore it? Rochelle Courtenay joins Clayton to share the story behind Share the Dignity, the national charity she founded after learning that many women experiencing homelessness could not access basic period products. What began as a simple collection drive quickly grew into a movement that has helped millions of Australian women and girls. Together they explore compassion, dignity, generosity and how ordinary people can create extraordinary change when they choose to act.Rochelle is the Founder and Managing Director of Share the Dignity, one of Australia's most recognised charities supporting women and girls experiencing hardship. Since launching the organisation in 2015, Rochelle has helped build a national movement powered by thousands of volunteers and community supporters. A passionate advocate for women's dignity and wellbeing, she is a sought-after speaker, podcast host and changemaker. While she holds many titles, the one she cherishes most is "The Pad Lady."
