Sample Position Paper

Country: Kingdom of Denmark

Committee: United Nations Women

Agenda: Gender-Based Violence in Conflict Zones, with a Focus on the Middle East

Honorable Chair, Distinguished Delegates, and Esteemed Guests,

Today, we come together to discuss the serious problem of gender-based violence (GBV) in conflict zones,
especially in the Middle East. In these areas, violence is not just a result of war but is often used to control and harm
women and girls. Denmark believes that stopping this issue is not just important but necessary for human rights,
peace, and justice.

Strengthening UN Women’s Role in Fighting GBV

Denmark supports the important work of UN Women in promoting gender equality and protecting women.
However, women in conflict zones need more help. We suggest the following actions:

1. Stronger Laws & Punishments: Many criminals who commit GBV in conflict areas are never punished. We must
create better laws and ensure justice for survivors.

2. Supporting Local Women’s Groups: Local organizations understand what women in their communities need.
They should receive funding and resources to help survivors.

3. Including Women in Peace Talks: Women should not only be protected but also given a voice in rebuilding their
countries. They must be included in peace negotiations and decision-making.

Human Trafficking in Conflict Zones

Another major issue is human trafficking. In war zones like Syria and Iraq, many women and girls are kidnapped or
tricked into forced labor and slavery. Denmark believes that countries must work together to stop this crisis.

Denmark calls on UN Women and all member states to:

1. Improve Cooperation Between Countries: Human trafficking happens across borders. Countries must share
information and work together to stop traffickers.

2. Provide Safe Migration Routes: Many women are trafficked while trying to escape war. Safe migration options can
protect them from harm.

3. Punish Traffickers & Buyers: We must not only save victims but also punish those who exploit them.
4. Help Survivors Rebuild Their Lives: Women who escape trafficking often face stigma. They need support,
education, and job opportunities to start fresh.

Denmark’s Commitment and Call to Action

Denmark is committed to ending gender-based violence and protecting women's rights, even in times of war. We
will continue to support UN Women through funding, policies, and diplomatic efforts.

However, we cannot do this alone. We call on all nations to recognize that gender-based violence is a human rights
issue, a security problem, and a barrier to peace.

The time to act is now. Together, we can make a difference.
