UN Women

     Some people may know that UN- Women is a combination of several once separate organizations under the UN that had the same goal; the advancement of women and securing their rights all over the world. This meeting i attended was geared to toward the creation of a new resolution they would put forward. The resolution would included the goals for the up coming year, a break down of what they included, how they would achieve (who would be a part of what and the financial aspect). Some of the nations present for the meeting where; USA, UK, India, Russian Federation, Argentina, Japan, Tanzania, Canada, Malaysia, Norway, and many more.  Many people forget that even here in the United States women do not have equal pay as men for the same job, but in many other countries women have more worries than their salary some worry about their very lives.
     The problem many people see with the UN is the enforcement of their decisions, this resolution will tackle that problem as well with a break down of check ins and reports and investigations into how things are progressing the frequency of these check ins have yet to be determined. Everything must follow a tight rule of law and procedure, all the i's must be dotted and t's crossed

HAPPY PERSIAN NEW YEAR

First Day of spring and what a cold dreary day to kick off spring. The weather didn’t stop the UN Permanent Missions of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Iran from celebrating Norwruz and the Persian New Year. Norwurz is not a strictly Islamic or Arabic tradition it is celebrated throughout the world by people of different races, creeds, ethnicity, religions, and political affiliations. At the celebration I sat next to Josee Reboul, a member of network 20-20 (an organization that is dedicated to getting people for high school to college age into international affairs. Ensuring that the leaders of tomorrow are more cognitive of the world today). After the main speech at the Millennium Hotel we went back to the main UN Building for a gathering in the General Assembly Hall, which was followed by traditional Persian food, dessert, music, and dance. The night was memorable and gave me far more incite to the world of Persian culture and its relations to our culture than I could have imagined.
