The stories of four Egyptian women and the different vehicles they drive - from a rickshaw to a 36-tonne truck.
In the heart of Egypt's bustling capital Cairo, only very few female taxi drivers brave the unforgiving traffic.
Um Waleed is one of them. Driven by force of circumstance and the need to make a living, she went down a road that very few other women in the Arab world would contemplate.
This Egyptian woman has been driving for more than 30 years and first bought a taxi when her father encouraged her as he had no sons. This kind of work is dominated by men - but the discrimination she has encountered along the way has only her made her more determined.
