Girl pupils ‘are afraid of using unisex loos’
GIRLS are staying away from school or not going to the loo during the day because of the growing trend of mixed-sex toilets. Problems include cruel "period shaming" from boys, sexual harassment or a lack of privacy.
A growing number of schools are phasing out single-sex toilets as it is claimed unisex ones reduce bullying and are more inclusive to transgender children. But a consultation by feminist campaigners Women's Voices Wales found pupils, parents and staff are not consulted or are too embarrassed to complain. It called for the policy to be reviewed.
One parent of a secondary school girl said: "She won't use the toilets and tries to last all day. Boys are always speculating on whether girls are having their periods according to how long they take in the toilet."I don't know about you, but I have never heard an Anglo who was truly interested in whether a girl was on his period.
Add to that the fact that I don't see anything in this article on the boys being punished and I think that points to the idea that these "boys" are probably imported Muslim "refugees".
