Women’s Empowerment in Tehran
As a result of women being allowed to drive cars, one of them with an entrepreneurial mindset encouraged a group to start their own all-women taxi service in Tehran, the capital. For once, the tables are turned, and men are not allowed to work for the company. A nod to girl power for sure!
Restrictions on Travel
While women are allowed to drive cars, under no circumstances are they allowed to ride a bicycle. For further clarification, they are allowed to ride on the back of a motorcycle, but these must always be operated by a male, which tends to be somewhat of a restrictive measure if someone is unmarried, and they don’t have a car.
