Public toilets for ladies?

Remember when I wrote about the very public toilets in Amsterdam center? (See previous blog). They're everywhere, and they're sexist. That's because these toilets, if you will, are built exclusively for men (think vertical), leaving ladies the only option of using a restaurant or cafe washroom and often having to pay for it.

Fifteen ladies magazines have decided to start a petition to be presented to city authorities in support of clean public restrooms for ladies, with space for baby diaper changing.

If you want to give your support to the movement,visit their website here, and click on the large pink button 'Zet hier je handtekening' ('Place your signature here').
