Position Paper B


Committee-Commission of the Status of Women (CSW)
Topic- Achieving Gender Equality Through Youth Education
Country-Iran
Delegate -Monica Cantu Sanchez
School-Colegio Ingles



Female youths who later are becoming into are at the center of activities in the family, society, the community and all facets of life. Education is an important tool for promoting gender equality and advancement of female youths in socioeconomic and political development of nation .Their contributions to the household chores, income earning activities,community participation, community management  roles and other areas of life cannot be overlooked.



            The study of various educational indicators, including access to early childhood care and education, participation in primary, secondary, and higher education, and adult literacy rates, points to considerable progress made towards gender equality in Iran over the last decade.Iran,is aware of all of what is happening in education.When a girl becomes 12,she gets married at 14,gets pregnant at 16,and she has no get a way to get money so that she can protect her family,so because of this mostly in Iran girls are not able to finish school,so they have no education.


Some solutions that Iran proposes are to start making a law that girls should get pregnant until the age of 19 so that they can finish their education.Another soltution can be that if they are pregnant,to take their kids to a guardery,so that they can continue studing and getting a good job,because if they don’t study,they are going to get jobs that she cant get enough money to protect her family.

The Scientific Revolution-Chapter 22 Section 1

The Scientific Revolution-Chapter 22 Section 1




Zacharias Janssen (Dutch): invented the first microscope and eyeglasses


Anton van Leeuwenhoek: used the microscope to observe bacteria and red blood cells

Evangelista Torricelli: first mercury barometer, which was used to measure atmospheric pressure and predicting weather

Gabriel Fahrenheit: made the first thermometer and it said that water froze at 32o

Anders Celsius: created another type of thermometer that showed water froze at 0o



European doctors in medicine used writing of Galen an ancient physician, but it didn’t say anything about dissected bodies of human beings. It stated that it was the same as the pigs, but then Andreas Vesalius proved him wrong, he dissected human corpses 


Edward Jenner introduced a vaccine to prevent smallpox, he discovered that the inoculation with germs from cattle called cowpox could protect from smallpox. Cowpox was a more serious and deadly disease than smallpox therefore they were more protected 


Robert Boyle is considered the founder of modern chemistry; He challenged Aristotle’s idea that the physical world consisted of four elements: earth, water, wind, and fire. He proposed that matter was made up of smaller particles that joined together in different ways. His biggest contribution was Boyle’s law that explains that volume, temperature and pressure of gas affect each other 





All this advances in science made people rethink things about politicians and the relationship between the government and its people, this changed the political landscape for many societies
