Safr is a rideshare company focused on empowering women around the world. The startup aims to create an even playing field for all genders by providing a safe and efficient environment for both women riders and drivers.

Women, almost 90% of women in Lahore are sexually harassed in public transportation and according to CNN, almost 1,600 sexual assault and harassment cases are reported every week to the largest rideshare companies. The majority of women drivers—currently representing less than 20% of rideshare drivers—do not drive after sunset for safety reasons. Safr wants to provide a safe working environment for women drivers and increase their capacity to earn anytime. Similarly, Safr aims to ensure a safer, better and more empowering riding experience to women riders.
