To get us started let's remind ourselves of last year's campaign
Last year we got our message into several shops using many creative methods

Why do we still need to campaign for single sex spaces?
Many retail stores are ignoring the safety dignity & privacy of women & girls by providing mixed sex changing rooms

Often the stores don't tell us they are mixed sex & only use a fabric curtain for screening!
How can any store provide mixed sex changing rooms & use curtains as a safety precaution? 🚩

Nearly 90% of sexual assaults in leisure centres & swimming pools happen in mixed sex changing rooms How does fabric keep predatory men away from women & girls in a state of undress?

Fabric curtains don't keep you safe!
There have been many examples of men filming women & girls or
opening curtains
How many shops do you change in that offer you a piece of fabric as a shield against predatory men?
Please complain when they do. 💚🤍💜

It's not just shops that are using mixed sex spaces
❗️The NHS has mixed sex wards
❗️Vulnerable prisoners are sharing with men who say they are women
❗️According to Ofsted 79% have experienced sexual assault in school many are in mixed sex toilets
#AllIWantForChristmas /8
You Can
COMPLAIN about mixed sex toilets & changing rooms
TELL your children's school toilets should be single sex
TELL your elected representatives that organisations should be Equality Act 2010 compliant
ASK politicians if they include men in their definition of women
