Dorthea Nangolo on the installation in the of gender neutral toilets at NUST

[PODCAST]

This discussion dives into a topic that sparked passionate debate across lecture halls and student forums — the call by the Student Union of Namibia for the installation of gender-neutral toilets at the Namibia University of Science and Technology.

Proponents argue that gender-neutral facilities respect the dignity of all students, particularly those from the LGBTQI+ community, while critics — including the Namibia National Students Organisation (NANSO) — have raised concerns about their practicality and appropriateness. But the question on many minds is this: How safe will these spaces be for all students, and is such a move viable in our context?

President of NANSO Dorthea Nangolo to shed light on their stance and what it means for students across the country.
