Take this quiz to find out what Women’s March icon you are most like and win R35,000!

In August, South Africa commemorates Women’s Month in honour of the 22,000 women who marched to The Union Buildings to deliver more than 100,000 signatures, taking a stand against issues affecting the mobility of women in Apartheid South Africa.

At Bolt, one of our missions is to actively connect women with better opportunities for their own advancement while offering safe and affordable rides at the tap of a button.

This year we’re happy to introduce something that speaks directly to this mission: #RoadToEqual, Bolt’s commitment to making the journey towards equality a bit fairer.

Equal Journeys: Ride for women 

Recent reports have shown that Africa has the highest growth in businesses developed and run by women.

However, the average person claims to not know any businesses owned or run by women. Women-led organisations are extremely under-researched and undersupported.

With #RoadToEqual, we aim to close the awareness gap by making it easier for people to support women-led or centred organisations near them.

When we say equal, we mean equal 

Bolt ensures that we close all gender gaps we can within our organisation and with our partners.

Bolt women drivers are paid exactly the same as men drivers. We have put measures in place to ensure that women drivers can get these earnings in the safest and most comfortable way possible. Over the last year, we launched a ride-type specifically for women riders and drivers. If you have always wanted to earn extra money or be a full-time driver, Bolt is the best platform for you as a woman.
