The fear of many women in New York City…

In New York City is a politieoproep done to all the women who feel unsafe to solo a taxi ride. Similar to the statements that Germany did as a reaction to the scandals in Cologne, suggests the police in New York that fearful women are of a ‘taxi-buddy’ to take during a late ride. But is that really such a good idea?

Figures show that, the greater the chance is that you as a taxi driver itself is under attack, that you as a woman in New York in a taxi is hurt. Of the total of 164 reported ” rapes by strangers in the past year, there were 14 in a taxi occurred, of which two again in 2016. Relatively speaking, that is so pretty, given the large number of taxis in NYC.

The whole buddy system is of course not a bad idea, but then you can’t come into the discussion in which the woman as a lesser party must adjust. So the cheerful American vrouwenactivistengroep came up with a much better proposal. They suggested that if every Uber-taxi in the back of a panic-button would have the assaults considerably will decrease. However, if you as a starting point, have to as a woman without fear of being a taxi in to steps, do you keep it that way only but position seems to me.

So then we are back at square one. Fact is as long as there are men in cars driving around where women can steps, the probability of sexual assault has not been ruled out. It is simply waiting for the autonomous taxi.
