Imagine a life, where, on a daily basis, you must prove you are in the ‘right’ bathroom. By going where few videos have gone before, Wrong Bathroom blows the stink out of the stall on this civil rights issue. Public restrooms historically have been a place of discrimination and harassment.

From the segregated bathrooms of the South to the fight for women’s restrooms in the workplace, access to public restrooms has long been a civil rights issue. This video is meant to inform both those who have and have not experienced bathroom harassment about the need for gender-neutral bathrooms.

It is also meant to inspire the already converted to action, by showing the growing size of the movement, possibilities for work within their communities, and the unique activist work already happening surrounding this issue.
