The delegates are really discussing with each other How much tissue they use when they go to the toilet. The chairs are Makura Patricia and Kadzirange Megan.
The delegates of Uruguay, United States of America and the United Kingdom have met up and started to write up their resolutions.They did lose the delegate of Romania after a discovering that she was 100% against abortion. The groups were using the topic Family planning and Population management. The United States said they are trying to educate people about the “risks that come with pregnancy” and that there are “moves that are taking place to empower women”.
