Women Preferences delivers what riders and drivers actually requested — more control and safety options that have powered over 230 million trips globally. The feature expands choice without forcing anyone to use it, letting women feel more comfortable and confident while using Uber. This isn't discrimination; it's responding to real feedback from women who wanted these options.
Uber's Women Preferences program blatantly violates California's Unruh Act by discriminating against male drivers based on sex. The company openly admits to prioritizing female drivers for rides requested by women, meaning male drivers receive fewer opportunities solely because of their gender. California law prohibits sex-based discrimination regardless of motive — equal treatment isn't optional.
