Sexual assault at the Intermodal: What the incident reveals about safety and accessibility in Palma

Answer

Are single-occupancy restrooms in stations safe for vulnerable people?

Single-occupancy restrooms are meant to provide privacy, but they can also become isolated spaces if there is no nearby oversight. In busy stations, that makes it important to have emergency buttons, clear signage and staff who check the area regularly. Privacy should be protected, but not at the expense of basic safety.
