Due to the social dynamics of the community, the activities associated with the bathrooms have a less intimate condition than in westernized societies. That is why the porosity of the space does not present a potential problem of gender issues.
This means that if the design is going to be adapted to other communities, it must be reviewed and adapted to their specific conditions.
