About the committee
Delegates negotiate one convention on bodily autonomy, consent, prevention and survivor protection. The room must set clear rights without treating culture as a vague category or an excuse for harm.
The room ends with a single conference treaty considered article by article before a final vote.
What it has to settle
- Which practices and forms of coercion fall within the convention?
- How should prevention, criminal law, healthcare and community work fit together?
- What monitoring system, funding model and rules on reservations can states accept?
