The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women, or UNWOMEN in short, is an entity serving to provide and ensure gender equality globally as well as women empowerment.

UNWOMEN works to create and uphold an environment in which all females alike have their own rights under no oppression whatsoever. This entity was formed on July 2, 2010 and was the merging of 4 separate entities that also worked on gender equality and women’s Empowerment.

Note: This council will follow HMUN Rules of Procedure.

Adequate health education pertaining to sexuality and reproduction is undeniably vital in today’s world, but has a relatively short history in terms of international action. Matters such as abortion, female genital mutilation (FGM), reproductive rights, and sex education are all in need of more discussion and regulation on the international stage as we move towards gender equality. It is then the responsibility of the UN Women to promote a holistic and ethical reproductive health education.

It is an unfortunate fact of reality that the existence of war and conflict will ultimately lead to countless human rights violations, though that does not excuse this happening. With overwhelming evidence to prove it so, it is clear that the Russo-Ukrainian war has led to the prevalence of displacement, human trafficking, sexual and gender-based violence, and internally displaced persons. The UN Women works now to reduce the commonality of these issues, in furtherance of decreasing the impact of the Russo-Ukrainian war on women’s rights.
