Primark reintroduces female-only fitting rooms after two men walk in on woman

Changes are being made.

Primark is reintroducing women only fitting rooms in their UK stores after concerns were raised following an incident in one store. Last month it was announced by the company that they would be reviewing their unisex changing rooms after a woman posted on social media describing two separate incidents that occurred. Charlotte Kirby had visited one of the Primark stores in Cambridge when two men opened the changing room curtain on her when she was in there. Primark has now issued a statement on their website to confirm that the change is being introduced as well as bringing in longer curtains and new mechanisms to keep them in place. Unisex fitting rooms will still exist alongside the women's only ones in 187 of 191 stores across the UK. The remaining stores here only have one changing room but the statement said this will also be under review. Primark said: “We want our stores to be places where everyone feels safe and welcome. “We’re sorry to hear this hasn’t been the experience some people have reported in our fitting rooms. “We’ve listened to feedback from our customers and colleagues and you’ll start to see changes in our UK stores in the coming weeks.”
