Women wait longer for the bathroom. The Government wants to change that
Manage episode 446098920 series 2664539
How long you might have to wait for a bathroom in public spaces looks set to change in Australia.
The Australian Building Code Board wants businesses to provide 1.8 times the toilets for women than they provide for men to help shorten the queue.
But why is the line for women’s bathroom almost always longer than the line for men’s? And what is some of the thinking behind changing how many are available to access?
On this episode of the Briefing, public toilet expert Katherine Webber joins Bension Siebert to explain how the plan would work, and how we design these public spaces with equality and accessibility in mind.
