Make toilet hand showers compulsory in all public toilets

Closed 47 signatures

What the petition asks

The request for installation of toilet hand showers in public toilets is rooted in principles of public health, accessibility and environmental stewardship. I believe they offer a more effective and hygienic alternative to toilet paper, and that clean and accessible toilets are a basic human right.
The Government can exemplify proactive leadership in tackling pressing societal concerns and enhancing the overall wellbeing. I think this issue is of paramount public interest, and that access to clean hygienic restroom facilities is a fundamental aspect of public health and dignity. Without intervention at the government level, it's unlikely that public toilets will voluntarily adopt this amenity. Therefore, legislative action is imperative to ensure universal access to toilet hand showers.
