Tagging

Segregation

Primarily for facilities that often have single-gender areas like toilets, showers, dressing rooms, etc. This tags could also apply to other types of facilities like educational institutions, religious places and other places where genders may be separated.

Usage

  • female=yes (male=yes) - available for females (males)
  • female=no (male=no) - not available for females (males)

gender_segregated=no implies female=yes and male=yes.

Conditional restrictions

  • female (male) - condition applies to females (males)

Facilities for disables persons, children, etc.

Separate unisex areas for disable persons may be mapped gender_segregated=no, or if facility have separate male and female areas with additional unisex room designated for disabled persons, whole facility may be mapped as gender_segregated=yes.

Facilities which are adapted for children, may be tagged with child=yes in addition to tags above, but it is recommendation only.

Difference between "sex" and "gender"

Difference between "sex" and "gender" isn't relevant in this context.
