Urban public toilets should increase the proportion of female toilets

Yesterday (8th) was the 38th Women’s Day. The National People’s Congress representative from Wuhan and Ye Qing, deputy director of the Statistics Bureau of Hubei Province, submitted a special proposal to the conference group “Improve the design standards of public toilets in the city and improve female toilets. Bit Ratio.

In his proposal, Ye Qing pointed out that in many public places in China, such as tourist attractions, large shopping malls, and transportation hubs, men and women do not need to line up for toilets, while women wait for a long time in toilets and there is a stark contrast between the status of men and women toilets.

Ye Qing said that he often encountered this problem when escorting his wife to the shopping mall. The lady lined up in the toilet and he waited outside for his wife. As a man, Ye Qingxiao said that during the Women's Day, women should be given more care.

He introduced that the Ministry of Construction's "Urban Public Toilet Design Standards" implemented since December 2005 proposed that the ratio of male toilet seats (sitting and standing) and son-in-law (sitting) positions in public toilets should be 1:1 to 2:3. Public toilets in commercial areas should be 2:3. but

“Yes” means that this standard is not mandatory, leading to greater arbitrariness in implementation, and it cannot effectively protect women's equal rights to use the toilet.

Therefore, Ye Qing proposes to amend the "Standard" to obligate the public toilets to have a 2:1 ratio of women's toilet seats (squat and seated) and male toilet seats (squat, sit and stand), of which women's and men's toilets are The ratio of sitting (sit) must reach 4:1, female toilet

The area must also be increased accordingly, and at the same time require the local administrative departments (urban construction management departments) to earnestly implement enhanced supervision. If it cannot be reconstructed, an unisex bathroom (without gender toilets) should be added as appropriate.
