These taxis driven by women are providing safe transport in Tanzania

For too many women, taking public transport means running a gauntlet of sexual harassment. The Pink Bajaji initiative is taking aim at this problem in Tanzania. By training women as taxi drivers, it provides safe public transport for women and girls, while also providing an income for the women behind the wheel – as Modesta Joseph, founder of the initiative and CEO of Our Voices Against Harassment, explains. Modesta Joseph is part of the Global Shapers Community, a World Economic Forum initiative that comprises more than 11,000 young #innovators, activists and changemakers from around the world.
