Hi there, I was wondering if any of you amazing women would be able to help me with addressing an issue my daughter and her friends are having at school in regards to unisex toilets. The girls are avoiding drinking fluids so they can avoid using the toilets as they're covered in male urine. I have contacted the school principal who hasn't even responded. Should I contact them again or escalate it to the education department?

I am in Australia, not the UK. Any ideas on what to say to them? Appreciate any advice you may have.

Isn't it law for them to be able to access single sex facilities from aged 8?

Ask your daughter and her friends to complain about it multiple times every day.

I'd point out that the un has stressed the importance of single sex toilets for girls in developing countries, so that girls can go to school. Why is it that girls in developed countries are being denied what's considered a basic human right for girls in Third World countries?

Contact health services for advice? (IE make it more widely known) follow the complaints procedure of the school.
