FORUM: HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL

QUESTION OF: Reevaluating the Legalization of Prostitution and Abortion


MAIN SUBMITTER: United Kingdom
CO-SUBMITTERS: Luxembourg, Zimbabwe, Netherlands, France, Argentina

THE HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL,

Fully aware that around 73 million induced abortions take place worldwide each year. Six out of
10 (61%) of all unintended pregnancies and 3 out of 10 (29%) of all pregnancies end in induced
abortion (World Health Organization),

Conscious that since 1996, legal grounds for abortion have expanded in a growing number of
countries in both developing and developed regions, but abortion policies remain much more
restrictive in countries of the developing regions (United Nations data),

Aware of the fact that pregnancy is a major journey for any woman and whether she decides to
carry to term or not should, spending 9 months carrying the baby throughout which she may
experience nausea, fatigue, irritation in different parts of the body, strange cravings, weight gain
and hormonal imbalances,

Bearing in mind that around 45% of all abortions are unsafe, of which 97% take place in
developing countries (World Health Organization),

Noting that in 2012 it was estimated that there were between 40 and 42 million prostitutes in the
world,

Observing that Countries with legalized prostitution are associated with higher human trafficking
inflows than countries where prostitution is prohibited and that the scale effect of legalizing
prostitution, i.e., expansion of the market, outweighs the substitution effect, where legal sex
workers are favored over illegal workers,

The delegate of Chile would first like to thank the delegate of United Kingdom on

constructing such an excellent resolution.

This delegate would like to bring the house’s attention to clause 2, sub clause b. It

talks about providing financial support for pregnant women who cannot meet

guidelines for abortion. This is effective because in the case of adolescents, there are

many situations where abortion rates increase since they cannot afford to have

children due to their lack of financial resources. However, providing financial

©MUNTAI II
support to them, such as donating to the public and supporting babysitters, is

effective because it reduces the financial burden on them.

In this vein, this delegate urges to houses to vote for this resolution as a whole.
