Coalition for Freedom and Justice: Social, Cultural, and Humanitarian Committee, 2024

Chair

Giovanna Antoniassi Aires Garcia

Envision a place where freedom and opportunity rule; although it is far from our reality, it is not impossible and completely tangible! To achieve this, ideals of justice and human dignity remain central to our global mission, addressing issues that endanger vulnerable populations. The Coalition for Freedom and Justice: SOCHUM will seek to bring this vision to life,  focusing on some fundamental rights that are often compromised. Amongst the challenges this committee will face, the birth of new solutions that protect and empower individuals across the globe will make it all worth it! 

It is a stark reality that millions still endure circumstances that deprive them of education, safety, and the freedom to shape their futures. Others are forced into exploitative situations, robbing them of autonomy and hope. As a committee, we will delve into the social, economic, and systemic factors that perpetuate these injustices. Our focus will be on creating supportive frameworks that foster community resilience, strengthen protective policies, and enhance awareness and advocacy. Your role in this mission is crucial, and your efforts will be instrumental in bringing about the change we seek.

Undoubtedly, The Coalition of Freedom and Justice will bravely confront essential questions, so challenge yourselves: How can communities work together to prevent cycles of disempowerment and vulnerability? What strategies will most effectively reduce harm, support survivors, and bring justice to those affected? And, perhaps most critically, how can we ensure our efforts lead to sustained change and protection for all?

Our goal is to create a world where everyone can live freely and safely, free from exploitation and inequality. Through excellent collaboration and diplomacy, we can create micro circumstances that will reflect our macro circumstances! Together, we will shape a future defined by compassion, empowerment, and the unwavering defense of human rights. Welcome to the Committee on Social and Human Rights—let’s leave the world a better place than we found it!
