I remember when these were more common when i was growing up, and how many times I would hear mothers telling their children 'sorry we cant afford it, youll have to hold it'.

I remember as a child actually wetting myself because we couldnt afford to go to that particular toilet, and there were no others available.

The fact that this is a clear violation of human rights, specifically the right to bodily autonomy, but its also a clear violation of human decency. It is an issue I hope will be genuinely considered in parliment, as I believe it may be an issue that has simply flown under the radar.

Together, we can stop what is clearly a humanitarian injustice.
