68 women MPs in Japan had 2 toilets at parliament. After petition they have 4

Japan’s parliament is set to add two more women’s toilet cubicles following a petition by 58 female MPs highlighting the shortage. This move addresses the under-representation of women in politics, where they hold only 68 out of 465 lower house seats. The expansion aims to alleviate long queues faced by female lawmakers and staff, reflecting a broader push for gender equality in public life.
