Sex-segregated public toilets ensure residents’ privacy and safety, government spokesman says
A spokesman for the Environment and Ecology Bureau said on Thursday that the government was studying the judgment handed down the day before and seeking legal opinions, while considering mounting an appeal.
“The establishment of sex-segregated public toilets under the Public Conveniences (Conduct and Behaviour) Regulation aims to protect the privacy and safety of the public when using public toilets, and to reflect social norms and expectations,” the spokesman said. “This arrangement has been widely accepted by society.”
