Is impossible to take this article seriously, at least for what is wants to promote. So, now i am in Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia, and there are coaches in trains and even cleaning toilet signs which differentiate the woman from the concept of a human. Malaysia is a muslim country, so much that it even has a religion police. So in other words there is police enforcing spiritual beliefs (or at least it should be spiritual).

The way i see it, it only promotes segregation, difference and and individualism. This is what's happening in all muslim countries, women are being diverted towards inferiority, seclusion, limitation etc. You say the taxi aims to help women become self-dependent . In the arab countries where women are banned from driving a car then yes that fulfills the purpose (up to some degree) but in UK?? Majority of the women there are self-dependent. I mean, they are in the UK and that says quite a lot. And they are way better ways to help empower and and aid to self-exploration other than being a passenger in a taxi. How is exactly logically and practically offering that empowering? Maybe just a small feeling of something, but that does not even has any results whatsoever in the grand scheme of attitude .
Best is information, education . Thats how one becomes independent and strong. Not by being a passenger in a flashy taxi. Yes it can send a message, but that is all it can do lol.

As for harassement, that is every where. It is happening to women by men and women, and it is happening to men by men and women. But that second part doesn't seem to be addressed. Why? Well, you know how media likes to put a sad face on things and to make us all be passive-observers. That's usually having very good results when the bad situation is about the feminine gender.

Obviously no sources of all those statistics but luckily there are screenshots of the payment and how the app works.

A taxi providing security to women? How is that actually happening? A car is a transitional space, so anything really can happen there and outside of it, especially when stopped in traffic. So how is that providing security? You better give them the knowledge of empty-handed skills and they have way better chances towards protecting themselves and thus increasing own security.

This is just an article to promote the service. Nothing really worthy to it or the service though; it has very little to do with what they promote when put down to practical ways. Lame, further exploiting women but in a slightly more convoluted way.

edit: What i do appreciate and should be promoted for, is the fact it uses crypto as payment.
