Infrastructure
Infrastructure for work and community facilities must reflect the needs of all genders for equal participation and safe access.
WHAT?
- Workplaces, community organisations, and public facilities provide infrastructure (including toilets) that caters to the unique needs of all genders.
- Public facilities always provide safe access for all genders.
- Parental facilities are provided in public infrastructure that caters to the needs of parents of all genders and sexual orientations.
HOW?
- Change planning laws so that they must consider the needs of both men and women and how decisions about infrastructure affect both men and women, including how safe they are.
- All federal, state, local, and organizational infrastructure decisions (where services are privately approved or contracted by the government) must be made following consultation with individuals of different genders.
- Balanced gender representation in the assessment of tenders for public infrastructure development.
- A gender lens is applied to all infrastructure spending.
