Women working on construction sites said they often have to plead with their employers to get them to install a female toilet.
A report released yesterday by the Electrical Trades Union (ETU) said the reason for a lack of female facilities is due to the small number of women working in trades.
Electrician Vashti Arndt said she's worked on sites where she’s been the first woman they’ve worked with and that she’s been the victim of sexist slurs at work.
She was once knocked back for a job because the male employer assumed she wouldn't cope with working under a hot roof.
The ETU has launched the Nowhere to Go campaign to lobby regulators to make toilets for women mandatory and more accessible, as well as fitting them with soap and sanitary bins.
