KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Women are marginalised in society, in terms of wage disparity, opportunities, and wealth distribution. This a global situation, and must be addressed on a worldwide scale.
- Women are not made to feel safe, especially during the later hours of the day. By providing a safe form of reliable transportation, women may feel more empowered to travel and to work longer.
- By building a brand that is trusted and respected, new features, such as community-based deliveries and errands, can be added, with a sense of trust already pre-installed.
- Equality is not just about economic parity, but social parity. By providing the same opportunities and income, we provide women with the empowerment to seek social equality if they choose.
BEST MOMENTS
'This is something we should address, and don't kick the can down the lane'
‘You can create a sense of community - a sense of sisterhood'
‘It's about how we can contribute to your life to make it easier, safer and healthier'
‘If a woman is economically empowered, she will make sure that she is socially empowered, as well'
