A feminist reimagining of Kenya's colorful "matatu" minibuses | Naomi Mwaura
Kenya's minibuses -- known as "matatus" -- offer a convenient, affordable and colorful way for people to get around.
But they also pose safety risks and accessibility issues for many of their passengers, especially women.
Bringing a feminist perspective, activist and TED Fellow Naomi Mwaura calls for a revolution in public transportation by making routes transparent, protecting passengers from harassment and paving a career path for women in the industry.
