Make it a requirement for men to have equal access to baby change facilities.

What the petition asks
Many venues only provide baby changing facilities in the female toilets, making it difficult for men to change their children's nappies in public places. Many men are actively involved in looking after their children, and it is unfair to only allow women easy access to baby changing facilities.
Many venues only provide baby changing facilities in the female toilets, leaving men little option but to change their child's nappy on a dirty toilet floor or to access the ladies toilets to use the baby change. Many men are actively involved in the care of their children and it is no longer fair or reasonable to deny men access to baby change facilities when they are looking after their children, or to expect women to do all nappy changes.
