Gender neutral toilets for Soweto Theatre

Soweto Theatre staff were excited, engaged, and interested to learn how to provide the best service to the LGBTQIA+ community.

A #FamilyMeeting of the LGBTQI+ community was held at the Soweto Theatre on the 18th of October. The primary purpose of the #FamilyMeeting was to screen Dr. Beverley Ditsie’s latest film “Lesbians Free Everyone” however as part of the program, there were sessions that looked at the issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ community and a celebration of 30 years of PRIDE in South Africa.

In preparation for this momentous occasion, Soweto Theatre staff were given gender sensitivity training, so as to understand sexual orientation and gender identity.

Society has become so accustomed to the use of Mr and Ms, Him and Her, Sir and Madam that the concept of intersex, trans people, and the non-binary are excluded in this mundane day to day language that is used.

Soweto Theatre staff were excited, engaged, and interested to learn how to provide the best service to the LGBTQIA+ community, and patrons in the future who may come from this community moving forward such as Red Fermicycle which will be showing at Soweto Theatre on the 1st and 2nd of December 2020.
