About

Welcome to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women committee sessions of the Schoolhouse Model United Nations 2025!
﻿
Schoolhouse MUN is an online Model United Nations event organized by a team of volunteers from schoolhouse.world. Delegates will have the opportunity to represent different countries in five distinct committees of the United Nations. This experience will enhance their understanding of current world issues and improve their public speaking, collaboration, and leadership skills.
﻿
Agenda: Identifying and combatting gender apartheid and the systemic segregation of women
﻿
Investigating gender apartheid, its impact, and the ways through which it is facilitated, and creating strategies to counter the oppression of women across the world
﻿
Chair: Sarah W
﻿
Overview of the Committee’s Agenda:
﻿
Banned from public spaces. Prohibited from most job opportunities. Forbidden from pursuing an education at a higher level. These are only some of the countless injustices that women still face in certain parts of the world today.
﻿
Despite the many advances that have been made as society has progressed, gender inequality still runs rampant all over the world in ways big and small. Although in some places it’s subtle, an undercurrent of society, in others it’s systemic, embedded into the law. Enforced by those in power, those who should be upholding the responsibility of maintaining the wellbeing of their people. This is gender apartheid, gender-based economic and social discrimination enforced through physical and legal practices, and its impact is devastating, affecting mental health and economies and so much more.
﻿
The world cannot stand by and watch as gender apartheid continues to oppress women; we must take action. Your responsibility, dear delegate, is to investigate the reach of gender apartheid across the world, and to engage in thoughtful debate in the pursuit of creating solutions to this debilitating crisis. In the words of Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General, “no one should ever be permitted to violate, segregate, silence or exclude people because of their gender.” Action must be taken, and it must be taken now. 
﻿
Delegates, are you ready to bring justice to the women shackled by the chains of gender apartheid?

Hey there, I'm Sarah!! I'm a high school student from Tennessee, and I play the piano and the violin and also figure skate. One of my greatest loves in life is music; I listen to many many different artists and genres (my current fixation is Une barque sur l'ocean by Ravel), so if you ever need a music recommendation, I would be thrilled to suggest a song or piece:). In addition to music, I'm passionate about the environment, fashion, math, and much more.
