First of all hats off to you for such a bang on article on this sensitive and rampant issue faced by every other working woman in India. It’s a subject of great shame that as we claim gender equality in all aspects we fail to provide them facility as basic as to pee with dignity. All said and done let’s unite and resolute for the solution. Let’s raise voice against it now.

This rings so true... My wife has a mandatory loo inspection checklist when she goes for Job Interviews....

When i ask her how the interview and stuff, i remember her commenting on the hygiene of loo as a part of her evaluation process for the company she wants to work with....

I sometimes laughed at her pickiness.. then one fine day i had to accompany my 5 year daughter in a public loo is a mall.... she insisted on being in girls toilet... With obvious indignation and suspicion, i was made to wait at the door by the ladies traversing inside... And I kept wondering on the hygiene and cleanliness and my kid navigating on her own...

Btw below link is from movie Hidden Figures... this movie is in racial discrimination, the scene standa for me for what basic needs of your team you need to think of as a manager...

Women continue to be hidden figures in our corporates sometimes... All the more reason to raise your voice be heard on such basic needs issues.
