Women truckers drive change

As women are a part of the freight industry, she calls for logistics companies, industry organizations and governments to involve the group and help them to seek equal treatment with the same dignity and respect shown to their male counterparts.

In March, the China Women's Development Foundation and engine manufacturer Cummins China jointly launched a project to empower female truckers.

The project aims to address issues and offer counseling to about 3,000 female truck drivers in three years on how to stay safe and balance work and life. It will also hold mentorship programs and forums where they can discuss more issues such as physical and mental health and safety.
