North India's first woman auto-rickshaw driver

Sunita Choudhary - North India's first woman auto-rickshaw has been driving the streets of Delhi since 2004, after facing major difficulties to make a mark for herself in the male-dominated profession. With bureaucratic troubles in attaining a commercial auto-rickshaw driver's license, her journey entails of hardships of child marriage, physical abuse by her husband and in-laws, sexual harrasment and hostility from her male colleagues. In her struggle in the male-dominated profession, she says, "I had no other option but to fight back." (Photo by Sahiba Chawdhary/NurPhoto)
