Zar Aslam who was vexed with sexual abuse by Auto-Rickshaw Drivers, launched First Woman-Only Auto Rickshaw service in Pakistan.

Notably, Zar Aslam is also the president of non-profit Environment Protection Fund in Pakistan.

When she was a student, Zar Aslam narrowly escaped kidnap attempt by an Auto Rickshaw Driver. The idea of launching a woman-only auto service came to her mind then and she now came up with her 'pink rickshaw' service in her home town Lahore. These auto rickshaws have fans and doors as well. Each of them cost 3 lakh Pakistan rupees and the count gonna touch 25 by the end of the year. Zar Aslam have plans to lease out some of the autos to women on installment basis after teaching them driving.
