Pakistan: women ride motorcycles and defy traditions. Rowdy Riders is a women-only group in Karachi that teaches novices how to ride.
Since its creation in 2017 by a few pioneers, the group has grown significantly. It now has more than 1,500 members: housewives, students and working women. In Pakistan, many women give up working simply because there is only limited public transport available to guarantee their safety. “There should be a bicycle in every house. And usually there is one, but it rots because men don't use it and women don't know how to use it,” remarks Sana Kamran, 41.
