THINKING OF DISADVANTAGED AND HOMELESS WOMEN AND GIRLS AHEAD OF THE FESTIVE SEASON<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sydney, 13 November 2018 \u2014 Eco-friendly publisher, blOOturtle, is placing its support around Share the Dignity\u2019s Christmas #itsintheBag collection that aims to make life better for women and girls experiencing homelessness or poverty ahead of the festive season. The publisher will donate $1 for every English version sold online of its latest picture book release, Willow Willpower, to #itsintheBag between 16th November and 2nd December 2018. \u201cAt blOOturtle, we\u2019re very passionate about our slogan: Thinking Kids – Thinking Planet. The belief that basic personal hygiene products like pads and tampons are luxuries for homeless women and girls at risk of or who are experiencing domestic violence, is beyond words. We want to contribute to being part of the solution,\u201d said Nicola Ganaye, Creative Director of blOOturtle Publishing. Share the Dignity\u2019s #itsintheBag collection is simple. People are asked to choose a handbag in good condition that they no longer use. Then, they\u2019re asked to \ufb01ll it with items that have the power to make a woman feel special before popping in a thoughtful note or Christmas card to show the recipient that someone cares.<\/p>\n

Donations will be accepted between 16th November and 2nd December 2018, with collection points located at your local Bunnings Warehouse store. \u201cIt\u2019s all about showing women, regardless of the challenges they currently face, that they matter and deserve to feel special. Christmas is a challenging time for many people and especially women who \ufb01nd themselves in a situation where everyday necessities such as shampoo, conditioner, a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, deodorant and sanitary items are not easily accessible,\u201d said Rochelle Courtney, founder of Share the Dignity. Willow Willpower encourages children (and people) of all ages to dream big and believe anything is possible. Since its release on 11 October to coincide with the United Nations\u2019 International Day of the Girl, it\u2019s been receiving rave reviews from kids and parents alike. \u201cOne of the most pleasing pieces of feedback about the book is that it\u2019s acting as a real conversation starter. There are so many different threads that the book explores: gender, women excelling in traditionally dominated spaces, travel, exploration, discovery, pioneers like Amelia Earhart and the list goes on,\u201d said the book\u2019s author, Sarah Cannata. She added: \u201cMy journey with the book began three years ago, at a time when I was trying to start a business and really needed the support of the women around me. It\u2019s an honour to support Share the Dignity\u2019s Christmas collection and to see Willow helping to make even one woman\u2019s life just that little big brighter.\u201d Willow Willpower is available for purchase globally via blOOturtle\u2019s website: https:\/\/blooturtle.com\/product\/willowwillpower\/<\/p>\n
