Status: de facto

Denotes that access is restricted to persons of the female sex or gender or that services are provided to people of such gender. According to the context, it can be used as an access tag following the same rules as those described in access=*, or it can express that a service is available to persons of the female gender.

Usage

Use this tag in combination with other tags, most frequently in combination with shop=hairdresser or amenity=toilets.

amenity=toilets
female=yes

It's probably best to express this type of access as female=yes and let the implications take care of other sexes/genders since the number is not guaranteed to be exactly two across all cultures. It's also faster to tag in this way.

Implications

A value other than no implies no for all other gender-based access tags, but this can be overridden by adding more access role tags. In case of conflict, resolve in favour of more access.

Possible tagging mistakes

If you know places with this tag, verify if it could be tagged with another tag.
