    Didi Unveils Mulan-Inspired Support Network for Women Drivers

    May 15, 2019

    China’s largest ride-hailing company, Didi Chuxing, has established a support network specifically for its female drivers, The Paper reported Wednesday.

    Dubbed the “Mulan-Didi Women Drivers Network” after China’s beloved historical heroine, the alliance was announced Tuesday in Shanghai, according to the report. The company said the gender-restrictive group will engage in discussions with women drivers in an online community to address problems and concerns, as well as arrange offline activities for the women and their children.

    Women only account for around 7% of all drivers on Didi’s platform in China. Though the majority of women who drive for Didi are married, some single mothers also rely on the platform to make a living, even bringing their children along for the ride for want of a babysitter. (Image: The Paper)
