Launch of GenderNeutral.co.nz website
GenderNeutral.co.nz are excited to
announce the launch of their new website, GenderNeutral.co.nz.
GenderNeutral.co.nz is a little
business, based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, that came
about after the founders, Stace and Duncan, saw a need in
our community to have an easy way to make bathrooms
accessible for everyone.
The need for gender neutral,
accessible bathrooms is highlighted by recent findings that
1.2% of high school students in Aotearoa identify as
Transgender, and a further 2.5% are not sure of their gender
identity (from the Youth’12 Transgender fact sheet).
When searching on Refuge Restrooms at the time of writing,
RainbowYOUTH is the only bathroom in
Auckland listed with a positive rating, indicating its
safety for our gender diverse communities.
Through
their first line of products, bathrooms signs, GenderNeutral.co.nz hopes to promote
safe bathrooms for people of all gender identities, and
encourage businesses, charities, and individuals alike to
make a stand and say that their bathroom is safe for
everyone.
In recognising that GenderNeutral.co.nz is part of a
community that has a strong emphasis on support and charity,
34% of all profits will be donated to
RainbowYOUTH.
Co-founder Duncan says:
“I’m
really excited to be able to talk about this project that
has been in the works for a number of months. It mixes some
of my key passions of technology, raising awareness and
supporting the community.”
Co-founder Stace
says:
“This awesome initiative is a mix of my love for
being creative and a passion for promoting acceptance of
gender diversity.“
