Feminist design framework for envisioning gender-inclusive ride-hailing sector: Perspectives from India Pallavi Bansal, Payal Arora, and Usha Raman December 2023 Abstract The rapid rise of the ride-hailing sector is opening new avenues for women to participate in the Indian platform economy. However, women continue to be underrepresented as transport providers as much of the debate in the ride-hailing sector centers around women as transport users, not as transport providers. In this paper, we critically explore the strategies to enhance the participation of women drivers in the ride-hailing sector by conducting in-depth qualitative interviews with the stakeholders such as women taxi drivers, platform providers, NGOs, and policy and research support groups in India. The interviews are supported by analyzing documents related to government policies, platform companies, organizations, and the policies mentioned by the participants. This study builds on the Feminist HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) theory that proposes technologies should integrate feminist values in the design (Bardzell, 2010). The paper advocates for redesigning the ride-hailing platforms in alignment with marginalized actors.
