Social, Cultural, Humanitarian (SOCHUM)

The Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Affairs Committee, under the auspices of the General Assembly, oversees topics concerning international societal affairs, including the rights of women, indigenous peoples, migrants and refugees, and other issues of self-determination and human rights. This committee will focus on three specific topics that the chair and assistant chairs feel passionate about to be debated and discussed during the conference. Our goal is to bring awareness to the public by introducing global humanitarian and social issues by having delegates come up with ideas for solutions and resolutions. SocHum will once again be the beginner’s committee for MSUMUN, welcoming to less experienced delegates.

Topics

• Global Child Trafficking
• Assistance to Refugees, Returnees and Displaced Persons in Africa
• Distributing Humanitarian Aid in Conflict Zones
