CAIRO — Egypt's new pink taxis are being hailed as one more weapon in the battle against sexual harassment and violence toward women.
After finding success in several countries across the world — such as the United States, Turkey and France — the pink taxi has arrived in Egypt. The pink car experience lets women drive women to their destinations to protect them from potential sexual harassment or attacks. The cars are equipped with a GPS service to track the vehicle’s movement and a counter to calculate the fare.
