Committee: SCH Topic: Gender Egalitarianism Luxembourg Hanna S. Period.3


 * //__Background on Topic:__//** Gender Egalitarianism means gender equality. Women and girls are mostly affected by gender inequality, however women should be treated and have the same rights as men. Normally women are said to be the ones that stay home and do house work while the men are suppose to go out and work. Most women live in poverty because they don't get a good education, which leads to no jobs because of their sex. Many women are not valued so they do not have good health care and most of the medical society researches disease that have to do with men's health. In gender equality education and health should be focused on because if they don't help out women society will suffer the consequences.


 * //__UN Involvement:__//** The UN has an Economic and Social council that had an general discussion about the right to education; that it is a common right to all human beings. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women was adopted in 1979 by the general assembly. This is an international bill of rights for women which describes the rights that women should have. This bill of rights believes that every women should have the same equality that men have in the areas of political, economic, social, cultural, civil, or any other field.


 * //__Country Policy:__//** Luxembourg believes that women should have the same rights as men. The also agree with the UN because they are using their Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. They are also working on achieving goals for the years to come. They are aware that there are still inequalities in there country and are trying to stop them. It is very important that all the countries in Europe work as partners to over come gender inequality.


 * //__Solution:__//** Since education is the key to gender equality we should help people become more educated. The UN will create an organization that goes to peoples communities and educates them. While they are learning another representative takes care of their children so they don't have to have that responsibility while trying to be taught by another representative. This will help women and men become more equal because they will have the same education and people won't use education to discriminate women. This will help women succeed in life because they will be as smart as the men in their country and it will help then get the same jobs as men because their education is the same.
