The world of taxi drivers is dominated by men.But there is one small taxi company in Delhi,where all the drivers and passengers are female.Women's safety is a hot topic in India at the moment,so it's proving a very popular service.
“When I'm on the road driving our taxi I feel very proud,because this is the first taxi service only for women,”says 31yearold Shanti Sharma,who is one of eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women.
The last couple of months,since the rape and murder in the city of a college student travelling on a bus,have been particularly busy for her and her colleagues.
“After this case,our workload has increased so much,” says Sharma.“Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now.”
Most women in Delhi say they routinely face harassment(骚扰),and worse,especially on public transport.
Sharma,a single parent with three daughters,has been working as a taxi driver since 2011,when the service was first set up,and it has changed her life.This is the first time that she has earned enough—about
250 a month—to support her family.
Of course,she and the other female taxi drivers are completely outnumbered by male cabbies.“When I park somewhere there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out,” she says.“I'm usually the only woman in the parking lot,so I just stay inside the car.”
