Shimla Meena was married at 7 and had three children by the time she was 20. Driving a taxi has given her confidence and independence, and even the possibility of moving out from her overbearing in-laws. She says, 'Driving was like a dream come true'. Anita Mathur, from the Azad Foundation which runs Sakha Cabs where Shimla works, explains how work and an income increase a woman's negotiating power.
