TEDTalk Tuesday: Naomi Mwaura

Naomi Mwaura entered her family business of operating matatus, a form of public transportation in Kenya, with a feminist perspective to promote the work of the women in the profession to begin making systemic changes to reduce gender-based violence.

“So instead of women using affordable and environmentally sustainable public transportation to work, school and social events, they use their hard-earned and saved monies on safer but much more expensive means of transportation that leaves them out of building savings to ensure financial independence.”
