Why BCITO Partners with Dignity?
BCITO partnered with Dignity to ensure women apprentices across Aotearoa have access to free, sustainable period products on construction sites - a practical step toward improving wellbeing and inclusion in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Delivered through BCITO’s Actions Speak Louder initiative, the partnership supports nearly 1,000 women apprentices by removing a basic but often overlooked barrier to participation at work.
Why Dignity is the Right Fit for the Trades
"It moves beyond surface-level inclusion to address real, practical barriers. Providing period products prioritises dignity, safety, and establishes a new national standard for how the trades support women."
— Amanda Williams, Principal Advisor Women, BCITO
