Sex segregation

Sex segregation is the separation, or segregation, of people according to sex or gender. Public bathrooms, public showers, dormitories, and other areas are often sex segregated. Entrances and worship areas of some Islamic mosques are sex segregated. Sex education in public schools is often sex segregated. Private schools are sometimes entirely sex segregated or contain an entirely sex segregated student body.

On the Cairo metro, the first car of each train is reserved for women.
