TOPIC ONE: Gender Inequality Within the Medical Field
TOPIC TWO: The Sociocultural Barriers Towards Gender Equality
Committee Description: In this committee, the delegates will come together to discuss and create working papers that contain policies regarding these following problems. The working paper will lead to a more equitable future where gender disparities do not restrict personal freedoms. Attempts have been made to reform this universal human right, yet concerns over freedom of speech and religion, domestic policy, and cultural sovereignty remains.
​
The lack of equal gender representation within the healthcare system in both research and treatment has become apparent in recent years, despite strides towards gender equality. Medical professionals are starting to recognize the fundamental difference between male and female physiologies. This resulted in generations of inadequate medical treatment towards the differing biological needs of women. Ongoing stereotypes also reinforce misogyny, which becomes a silent killer for women in distress.Â
​
This misogyny comes as a result of years of patriarchal structures, and is now making a resurgence due to uncensored media and AI driven content. This new integration of media has shifted social attitudes and influenced generations into normalizing gendered stereotypes. Any advancements made towards gender equality are now at risk of a global regression, where women’s social capabilities are threatened due to a shifting sociocultural climate.Â
