Rideshare sexual abuse refers to incidents where passengers or drivers in rideshare services like Uber or Lyft are subjected to unwanted sexual advances, harassment, or assault.

This issue has raised significant concerns about the safety measures implemented by these companies. Factors contributing to these incidents can include inadequate background checks for drivers, lack of monitoring during rides, and insufficient reporting and response systems for complaints. The impact of such abuse is far-reaching, affecting the victims' physical and psychological well-being and undermining public trust in rideshare services. To address this, rideshare companies are urged to strengthen their safety protocols, provide better training, and implement more rigorous screening and reporting procedures to protect both passengers and drivers.
