New Zealand’s Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has launched a new bill that he says will protect women’s spaces and propose fines for those who use a restroom designated for a different sex than their own.

The new Fair Access to Bathrooms Bill will require new public buildings to have separate, clearly marked bathrooms for men, women, and unisex use.
