A passenger's first trip in an auto rickshaw driven by a woman turned into a happy, upbeat encounter, and was a welcome break from the norm.?The moment was just another reminder of how easily boundaries especially those based on gender can be broken. The passenger described the episode as something that left her "Happy for some reason."
This inspiring tale highlights how women are taking the lead in previously unheard-of professions and empowering others like them.?
Bengaluru-based X user Prakriti recently described her experience riding in an?auto rickshaw?driven by a woman. "For the first time ever, my auto driver in BLR is a woman and it made me so happy for some reason," she captioned the image she shared on January 13.
So far, the image has over 3,49,000 views and 5.8k likes. Although more and more women drivers are slowly taking on the role, perhaps there?are still not as many of them as one would probably hope. But one thing is for sure,?every time such a role is taken on, it weakens the narrative that says gender roles exist for a reason.
Social media enthusiasts showed their admiration and encouragement for the woman.
