It is not a secret that crisis and specialized committees tend to be male dominated. Throughout my years participating in Model UN, I’ve noticed that the vast majority of character based committees rarely have female delegates among their participants, let alone female characters or officials in the dossiers.
The gender imbalance across delegates and characters is directly correlated to historical and enduring gender inequality in leadership areas. However, it also illuminates the societal tendency to relegate women-centered stories to side narratives. As this article shows, there are plenty of opportunities for female centric committees that just aren’t being run!
