Valerie Macias Committee: UNICEF Topic: Child Healthcare

** I. __Background of the Topic__: **Children health care is facing many struggles are over the world, especially in certain countries that can not afford medication in order to help them. Children gain these diseases and physical inhibitors from many things, such as inheritance from their mother/father and jobs they have to work in. Another cause to unhealthy children is armed conflicts and poverty because it does not only damage to body but the mind as well. They have been working on creating places where the children can get clean water and live a better and healthier life. II. __United Nations Involvement__: ** The United Nations has been involved with this issue of healthcare of children for years, and have created a committee named UNICEF that has been helping with immunization, promoting and protecting breastfeeding, fighting HIV/AIDS, micronutrient, and health education. UNICEF has also worked toward the Millennium Goals, which has improved the health of children all over the world. They have also argued against children working or being drawn into the armed conflicts and abused. ** III. __Country Policy and Involvement__: ** Iran has strongly been trying their best in making significant progress in the healthcare of the children. My country struggles with the children being put into armed conflict and abuse, and we have been trying the best we can to try and help these kids. With the help from the Primary Health Care network we have been able to extend public health services and as a result our child and maternal rates have fallen dramatically. As stated in an article over 85 percent of the population has access to health services and 90 per cent of births are attended by trained health personnel . We have also provided access to safe drinking water and sanitary toilets. IV. __Solutions__ **Iran's solution are very simple, we could continue and keep making more shelters available for people who need it and in countries that are poor. The shelters will provide food, medication, education and a home for those who need them. The shelter will be both for adults and children. We can also keep the committee's we have and just broden them into more places that need the help. V. __Bibliography__ **  

Valerie Macias Committee: UNICEF Topic: Primary Education in Africa

II. __United Nations Involvement__: ** The United Nations has been involved with this issue and through UNESCO and UNICEF has spent millions of dollars each year to facilitate primary education in needy countries such as Africa. They are focused on accomplishing the Millennium Goal and are trying to help give every child the possibility of attending school. The Right to Education Document is about making sure that all children in the world have access to primary education, even those in conflict areas and are really trying to give every child the chance to get an education**.** UNICEF has been trying to promote gender equality and has been helping a lot of countries to get education for the children because education plays a big role in one's life. ** III. __Country Policy and Involvement__: ** Iran has tried to improve education in their country but has not done much to help the education in Africa. We agree that the girls and boys should be required to attend primary school and make a bigger opportunity for the girls to attend school. In our country we have provided many things such as libraries and education for the diabilites, and deal with the same issue of girls not having the same chance to be in school as the boys do. ** IV. __Solutions__: ** Some solution's Iran has thought about have been to created fundraisers and and a committee to provide the student's education. We would raise money in order to get textbooks and have teachers to be like a role model and educate the children. The committee will help gather all the children and take them to school and home safetly. The children will also be ensured protection and not worry about anything bad or harmful happening to them, they girls especially need more attention because they are the one's that do not get much of the chance to attend school due to being abused and raped, they will not have to worry about that anymore because the committee will keep them safe and out of harm.
 * I. __Background of the Topic__ ** Education in Africa has been a very difficult task to achieve, male children are usually put in armies and the girls are usually abused or victims of rape. In Africa, the males get better education than girls. They have created a Millennium Development Goal that targets the developmental priorities of the world and includes issues such as freedom from hunger and poverty, full employment, right to health care and reduction in infant mortality. This goal also states that all nations should ensure that all boys and girls complete a full course of primary school. **
