Japans Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and sixty female lawmakers advocate for more womens toilets in parliament, as seventy-three women were elected to the Lower House, surpassing the previous record. The current parliament building, dating back to 1936, has only nine womens toilets with twenty-two cubicles, while men have twelve toilets with sixty-seven stalls and urinals. Lawmakers report long lines before sessions, with some giving up on using the facilities beforehand. The chair of the Lower House committee has shown willingness to add more facilities, but the issue extends beyond parliament, with long womens restroom lines common across Japan.
