Impact of gender neutral bathrooms

C Bremer made this Official Information request to Victoria University of Wellington

The request was partially successful.

From: C Bremer

Dear Victoria University of Wellington,

Kia ora,
Students at Otago University are hoping to campaign for gender neutral bathrooms to be provided on campus. As Victoria has these already, I would like to know how these have been received.
Are students generally pro or anti having them present? Have incidences of violence increased or decreased at all? Do gender diverse students report feeling safer and more included? Do binary students feel comfortable having the bathrooms present and/or using them themselves?
What were the costs involved? If you currently had no neutral bathrooms, would you strive to provide some given your experiences?

Thanks in advance

Yours faithfully,

C Bremer
