Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Require new buildings to have self-contained gender-neutral toilets

I am asking the Government to require all new buildings to have self-contained gender-neutral (where the toilet, changing table, sink etc. would be in one self-contained unit) as opposed to stalls with communal sinks. We believe this would promote safety and security for all.

More details

People in the LGBTQ+ community may not feel safe in gendered bathrooms for many reasons, (especially LGBTQ+ youth) and some do not feel safe sharing bathrooms with LGBTQ+ people. Having self-contained gender-neutral toilets should address this. By doing this, we could create a safer environment for LGBTQ+ people in public spaces, and promote equality for all.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
