China and Pakistan see, CPEC as a ‘game changer’ fostering ‘shared prosperity and peace’ in the region. In Pakistan women have been underrepresented in the policy making process. The patriarchal structure in Pakistan do not allow the participation of the women in politics and the politics is considered as the domain of the male.
