Cambridge University's oldest women-only college risks breaching equality laws by having zero single-sex toilets available for its students, campaigners have warned.
Founded in 1871, prestigious Newnham College holds an estimated 700 students and is described as a 'lively and sociable women's college run by women, for women.'
At present, toilet facilities at the female college are all 'non-gendered', meaning that they can be used by both men and women.
But several campaigners have raised concerns that the college's unisex lavatories could be discriminatory, following the landmark Supreme Court gender ruling in April.
The historic judgement saw five Supreme Court justices unanimously find that the definition of a woman in the 2010 Equality Act is based on biological sex, not acquired gender.
