Background

Women don't feel safe changing in the same facilities as men. Many high street retailers & employers have begun to use unisex changing areas, allowing men into women's changing facilities. This is embarrassing for many men & intimidating for women & girls. Women don't want to be undressing in the same space as men. There have been crimes of men filming in such facilities & posting on the Internet. Please help end this dangerous policy before something terrible happens.
