Chandani, 22, who works as a cab driver for a social enterprise which claims to provide safe and secure cab services for women driven by women, sits inside her car on a street in New Delhi January 13, 2013. Chandani said demand for their cabs has increased after a 23-year-old medical student was gang raped in New Delhi. “I am doing a very unconventional job for women. Given that I do night shifts, I carry pepper spray bottle and I’m trained in self-defence. Initially I faced a lot of problems but driving cabs at night has helped me to overcome my fears”, said Chandani who has been working as a cab driver for the last four years. REUTERS/Mansi Thapliyal
