UNW
Agenda: Addressing the lack of political representation for women globally
A committee that speaks to the very foundation of justice and equality, the UNW will serve as a battleground for the voices that have long been silenced. Despite progress, political representation for women remains a distant reality in many corners of the world. This year, delegates will dive into the barriers, biases, and breakthroughs that shape global governance. Can this committee break the glass ceiling, or will the status quo persist? The choice is yours.

Assistant Director
: Meet Mahi Sahi (if she tells you her last name is Sahai, she’s lying), a perfect mix of being the scariest person in committee and the sweetest outside. But don’t mistake nice for quiet, she can talk for hours, especially about how Folklore was Taylor Swift’s best era (Do not. Bring up. Kanye West.). She spends most of her time stressing over Art homework (a decision that was COMPLETELY in her control) or writing impromptu speeches about why the USA is the worst (experienced Delegate of Russia right here). One thing you must know before meeting Mahi; keep your printer far away (The Sec Gen himself has been forced to print innumerous amounts of paper). If you’ve seen her at a conference, you know she’s arriving with a 120-page essay, 60 of which are dedicated to slander. As your chair, she’ll know every detail of the agenda, delivering ruthless questions from the top of her head with no remorse. But don’t be afraid to approach her, Mahi is as supportive as she is intimidating (her greatest trauma? Scoring below an 8 in Spanish). In all, if Mahi Sahai is part of your EB, consider yourself lucky, because your committee will be nothing short of dramatic, engaging, and absolutely unforgettable. (Written by Naavya Dhanuka)
Surya enters a conference with half a page of research and a loaded brain, improvising all his speeches and hoping the facts are correct. If he were to be described in one word, it would be ‘turbo’ - the only thing that thrills him more than watching Formula One cars blast through the tracks is a heated open floor or an exhilarating 3v3 in committee. Surya answers the most meticulously crafted POIs like it's nothing, probably because he spends all his time outside committee defending Tottenham (Arsenal hate is the fastest way to getting a chocolate in committee). The only person crying harder than Surya’s opponents in committee is Surya himself whenever Ferrari bottles another race. Surya is more than a chair; he is a mentor, he is a friend, and he is always aiming for pole position in committee. His approach to POI’s doesn’t change when he’s a chair; you may have to entertain many questions from the EB as a delegate under him. One thing’s for sure: if you’re in Surya’s committee, you are guaranteed to have a blast. (Written by Zahra Affendi)
