Call for more women’s toilets
Print Edition
MORE women’s toilets are needed in the city, a survey by a local government committee has found.
The ratio of toilets for men and women should be around 1 to 2.5 in busy places such as stations, schools, hospitals, cinemas and malls, the Shanghai Women and Children Committee said yesterday.
However, the committee’s survey, published to tie in with World Toilet Day today, found that in most districts, the ratio is around 1 to 1.5.
Best performers included shopping malls, with ratios of men and women’s public toilets that are mostly equal.
But at the shopping area at Shanghai Railway Station, men’s toilets outnumbered women’s — with 1 to 0.6.
The survey covered 500 toilets — equally split between public and those provided by private enterprises — randomly chosen in 14 districts.
