Ban communal changing rooms

Closed 37 signatures

What the petition asks

The government needs to ban new changing rooms at gyms, swimming pools and other facilities from being communal and instead new facilities must be cubicle. Also require older facilities to change from communal to cubicle changing rooms.
In 2021 everyone should be able to change at gyms, swimming pool and other facilities in private without having the worry about anyone looking at them while they are changing. Also some young adults and teenagers suffer from body confidence issues and may see other body forms which they cannot achieve which could compound this issue, causing them more mental distress and knocking their confidence.
