United Nations Human Rights Council
Agenda: The Rights and Protection of the LGBTQIA+ Community
Over the years, the LGBTQIA community has received varying degrees of international support- or persecution- from nations all over the world. While some countries chose to implement legislative measures to recognize relations and marriages among these people, others chose to persecute and discriminate against them. This discrimination exists in fields ranging from education and employment to even healthcare and even the right to housing. This year, the delegates of the UNHRC will be given the task of finding ways to ensure the rights of these individuals are appropriately protected- while simultaneously representing religious, cultural and even legislative opposition that may arise.
