First Female Moto-taxi Driver Shines in Male-Dominated Field

The world of moto-taxi driving in Cambodia has traditionally been dominated by males. But one woman is bucking the trend, in a society where most women stay at home while their husbands go out to work to support the family. Thirty-seven-year-old Um Chanthon became a motodop driver nine years ago, after she divorced her husband in 2003.

She started working in the male-dominated field to support her family, including her mother, her two sons and a nephew. Each morning before work, Chanthon plays with her children and takes her son and nephew to school.
