Pink Rikshaw for Women Empowerment.
An environmentalist, fed up with being groped and harassed by male auto-rickshaw drivers, has launched her own service exclusively for women passengers and drivers in Lahore – with just the one rickshaw on the road so far. Zar Aslam the president of non profit environment protection fund was once almost kidnapped by rikshaw driver but any how escaped her self and this incident triggered the idea of 'Pink Rikshaw Service'. Its a great initiative for the women who want to be independent and earn a good amount of money at the same time. It has also helped increasing women's safety in every aspect.

Sharing points of interest on the activity that was hailed off a week ago, city venture director of NULM Kusumbar Choudhury stated, "We have taken all measures to guarantee wellbeing and security of these ladies drivers and attempted our best to enable these ladies to procure their business in a noble way." "We are focused on urging more ladies to join such activities," he included.

The energetic pink rickshaws are empowering the individuals who utilize them to feel more secure as they go through their city, and in addition less limited in where they go and who they run with.They are increasing more certainty, more autonomy and guaranteeing another situation out and about.The new all-female activity, propelled by Plan International Pakistan, is giving the drivers and travelers that utilization it with a level of wellbeing and security that, up to this point, had been elusive.

ladies claim less land and have less contribution and impact in basic leadership. Nonetheless, these drivers are as of now standing out as truly newsworthy and demonstrating prevalent at home, changing dispositions and discernments towards women.Women without any livelihoods are trained to become rickshaw drivers and leased a pink rickshaw to work with during two years. During those two years, they are expected to contribute back to the scheme with an affordable part of their salary so that other women can join the project and become rickshaw drivers too. At the end of the two years, the women become owners of their pink rickshaw.
