I Was Attacked by My Driver After Confronting Him Over Missing Money

I Was Attacked by My Driver After Confronting Him Over Missing Money — 1 of 12
1 / 12

I grew up watching my father treat women with respect and advocate for their independence. But after moving into my own apartment, I was attacked by a driver I had employed for only two weeks after confronting him over missing money. He lunged into my car as I tried to leave the compound, while security guards nearby delayed before intervening. Although I reported the case and he was arrested, the slow court process and COVID-19 delays meant the case eventually stalled. The attack left me afraid in my own home and made me more cautious about hiring people. It also deepened my understanding of gender-based violence, the failures of bystanders, and why conversations about women’s safety, equality and accountability must continue.

How do people balance confronting suspected theft with staying safe, especially when the person has access to your car?

Exactly, safety first. Better to document concerns and involve trusted support than turn it into a one-on-one showdown.

It is unsettling that a conversation about missing money escalated into an attack after only two weeks of employment.

Respectful values matter, but they do not automatically prepare someone for the safety risks that can come with employing strangers.

When money goes missing, involving a trusted third party or reporting it may be safer than confronting someone alone in a vehicle.
