Dr.
Aliya H. Khan says the
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) must be accompanied by an effort to
mainstream women into the labour market and secure their rights.
“The first thing is that the constitution gives freedom to organize, which is
basically trade union activity. This would go into a very long debate, but over the years, especially, after the
setting in of the wave of globalization and privatization, there has been a
move to make Labor laws more employer friendly rather than employee or worker
friendly. And all this is done in the name of simplification,
rationalization and consolidation of Labor laws for reducing the cost of doing
business. (…) I think if we miss the golden opportunity on mainstreaming women
into these economic and export processing zones, we would fail to achieve the true returns
from the CPEC investments.”

"The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (Chinese: 中国-巴基斯坦经济走廊; Urdu: پاكستان-چین اقتصادی راہداری; also known by the acronym CPEC) is a collection of infrastructure projects currently under construction throughout Pakistan. Originally valued at $46 billion, the value of CPEC projects is now worth $54 billion.[1][2] CPEC is intended to improve the Pakistani economy by: rapid construction of modern transportation infrastructure, establishment of special economic zones, and an augmented power generation capacity.[3][4] On 13 November 2016, CPEC became partly operational when Chinese cargo was transported overland to Gwadar Port for onward maritime shipment to Africa and West Asia.[5] "
