Is Requesting For A Woman Uber Driver Possible

The abovementioned has been a primary question many people have in mind after Uber, Lyft, and the like have been scrutinized over sexual allegation concerns perpetrated by their drivers towards their passengers. 

Uber’s numbers even suggest that its stakeholders have experienced sexual assault incidents, including accusations of non-consensual sex. Hence, it is safe to say that women drivers and passengers feel unsafe during most of their dealings with ride-hailing services in their locality.

However, experts and observers have all agreed that there is no definitive answer to the query posted above. Companies do not give would-be passengers an option to choose whether they can pick a female driver or not via their mobile applications or booking platforms. 

Additionally, there are certain legal aspects behind allowing customers to select female drivers over their male counterparts. A legal sage suggests that allowing it would lead to violations of federal legislation and may result in the launching of several lawsuits in courts. 

How To Deal With The Situation

To deal with the dilemma mentioned above, some startups have launched businesses to cater to the needs of a certain demographic in the market, wanting to specifically be catered by a woman driver. 

Moving forward, there is no mechanism present in big companies of the like of Uber and others that offer an option for its patrons to book a female driver. 

Nevertheless, Consider The Consumer is a platform that victims of the sexual assault incidents perpetrated by Uber, Lyft, and other ride-hailing services drivers can rely on regarding the latest news and developments surrounding the matter. 

If you or someone you know have experienced sexual assault, it is advised to reach out to local law enforcement agencies in your area. In addition, it is important to seek the legal assistance of attorneys as soon as possible for you to obtain the justice that you deserve.
