UNITED NATIONS COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN
AGENDA: Addressing concerns regarding the international shift towards traditionalist conservatism and its impacts on marginalized communities and women’s safety
UN Women works to promote gender equality and protect the rights of women and marginalized groups worldwide. This agenda focuses on the global trend of traditionalist conservatism, which in some regions has led to restrictions on women’s rights, reduced access to education and healthcare, and increased social and legal discrimination. The committee examines how these political and cultural shifts affect women’s safety, participation in governance, and social empowerment. It also considers the impact on other vulnerable communities whose rights may be curtailed under conservative policies. Delegates discuss international frameworks, policies, and programs that can promote gender equality, uphold human rights, and safeguard communities at risk. The goal is to propose strategies that counteract regressive trends while fostering inclusive and safe societies for all.
All position papers must be submitted no later than 1/04/2026 23:59 IST.
