From Moscow to Dubai to Bombay women are making the streets safer by becoming drivers of pink taxi cabs. Women understand all too well what being vulnerable feels like at a physical level. What should be a simple and safe way to travel - getting in a taxi to go from one doorway (from work) to the next doorway (home) - all too often has ended in rape or death.

The women driving the Pink Taxi cabs are not only creating a a safe way for women to make their journey, they have broken with many traditions by entering a predominately male occupation, breaking stereotypes and earning decent wages for their work.

Can we also find ways for women who can't afford a taxi to get safely from one place to next as well?
