For newly constructed public buildings, the draft law envisages the obligation to establish either separate toilets or such toilets, in the private space of which there is also a sink and a device for drying hands. Toilets, which will be accessible without gender discrimination, will only be allowed in new buildings if separate toilets are also built there. Some schools and residential buildings will be exempt from the new obligation. The obligation will also apply to buildings that undergo significant reconstruction.

Secretary of State for Women and Equalities Kemi Badenoch said the new measure aims to stop the spread of multi-sex toilets. According to her, these facilities “deny privacy and dignity to both men and women”. According to The Guardian, for example, Badenoch claimed last week that urinary tract infections are more common among male and female students if they study in schools with shared toilets. According to the government representative, the girls refuse to use such devices.
The government claims, based on the results of consultations in which 17,000 people participated, that its measure has widespread support among citizens. According to her, the trend of having only shared multi-gender toilets in public buildings is causing concern among women, the elderly and people with physical disabilities. According to The Guardian, similar plans have drawn criticism in the past because they do not include an alternative for transgender people.
