[MUSIC PLAYING] I told it becomes something that I think we won't take for granted. But for person-experience homelessness, I told it becomes a luxury. And when you're living a life that revolves around deprivation, having that brief experience, you feel that you're being knowledge as a person. [SPEAKING FRENCH] Very hard to find a sign on or a coconut. That's why I slept at Central Station because it was all to ripen all day. So you didn't want to get a child, you know? Doing your business in public. Like, you sort of slept near it the way it told it was. [SPEAKING FRENCH] [SPEAKING FRENCH] If you were traveling on the Pacific Highway, between North Sydney and Brisbane, you would travel for at least five hours before reaching a public toilet with any changing facilities. In Western New South Wales, if you travel west of Davao, there are simply none available at all. And this is the National Public toilet map. I think public toilets are a really important form of infrastructure that are undervalued and underrated. They're often the last thing considered when we're looking at our plans and our public spaces and our transport networks. But they are essential to social inclusion and social cohesion. So while we have building codes that regulate how many toilets need to be included within buildings, when we leave the building, we don't have any standards that say how many public toilets we need to provide either per person or per kilometre. And we also don't have any legislative requirement on a level of government or an agency that says, you are responsible for providing public toilets. There is an legislative requirement that says they are part of the public space network or they're part of our public transport network. So if there is any conflict between user groups or if it becomes very expensive to operate, it can be easier to close a public toilet than to ensure continued access. The further you get away from a capital city, the harder it is to go to the bathroom. And what is accessible is old, often the gradient is really hard to get into the bathrooms. The grab rails aren't overly helpful. The amount of times I go racing looking for a toilet, whether that's out at a business lunch, whether that's at the airport. And some of the difficulty is to be able to go to the toilet in dignity, to be able to have somewhere private that is accessible, that is safe. For me, it means that I can navigate my wheelchair and my walker. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get into the toilet or not to be able to get into the toilet. But I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get into the toilet or not to be able to get into the toilet. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get into the toilet. I mean, I was transferred around my early teens. And then that causes a lot of issues when it comes to stuff like public bathrooms. And I would come to situations where I had to make the decision between do I go to the women's bathroom and risk getting transphobic retaru or do I go into the guys' bathroom and for myself at risk of violence. I did have at least one where I was getting some change, but I used to say that he's a man very once. And then because I did that and looked feminine enough, I received physical violence. The doctor Sasha Bayley is looking for the center for the mental health of the young of Melbourne University. She declared to SBS Examines that many trans people are trying to anxiety to use public toilets and avoid them as much as possible. A research on the young LGBT+ gene, in Australia, has put evidence of deep repercussions on the physical and mental health of trans people. In that study, we say that over 60% reported in the past 12 months, avoiding using the toilet. Nearly two in five had in the past 12 months limited how much they had eaten or drank to avoid having to go to the toilets. And in the same sample, around 7% of trans young Australians had developed a urinary tract infection, kidney infection, or other kidney-related problem in the last 12 months in relation to toilet access. There's a map in Australia of all the toilets. And after 25 years of operations, the National Public Tournament of Australia has become a bit of a phenomenon. Jim Copper is the PDG of Continence Health Australia. In Australia, a person with 4 health problems of the continent that represents more than 7 million people. Continence Health Australia organizes every year the Great Donnie Hunt, a campaign that encourages the public to sign the public toilets on the national map, to help others to locate the existing facilities through the country. On this day, more than 25,000 facilities have been lost. What it's turned into is this general purpose, fantastic directory, and people who are traveling use the map. Traits people, disabled people, emergency services, police, Uber drivers, and also everyone who has Continence challenges and the purpose of the National Public Tournament and the Great Donnie Hunt where we add more toilets every year is to help those people within Continence in particular. As part of the United Nations, we have a right to water and sanitation, which equates to the right to public toilets. Therefore, it is important that cities and our planners and our architects and our builders are responding to that right by providing adequate and accessible public toilets.
