How a feminist lens could transform Kenya's colorful matatus
In short: Kenya's matatus provide affordable transport, but they present significant safety and accessibility challenges. This video explores how Naomi Mwaura proposes a revolution to protect passengers and create new opportunities for women.
Naomi Mwaura argues for a reimagining of Kenya's minibus system, known as matatus, which are known for being colorful and convenient. While these vehicles are essential for affordable movement, they often lack transparency in their routes and fail to protect passengers from harassment.
Mwaura's feminist approach suggests a systemic overhaul: making transit routes more transparent, ensuring passenger safety from harassment, and establishing clear career paths for women within the transport industry.
