World Conference on Women
Topic A: Gender Equity in Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies
Topic B: Advancing Women’s Economic Mobility
Topic A: Gender Equity in Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies
As artificial intelligence and emerging technologies become increasingly integrated into everyday life, they are reshaping economies, education, healthcare, employment, and governance. While these innovations present significant opportunities, they also risk reinforcing existing gender inequalities through algorithmic bias, unequal access to digital resources, underrepresentation of women in STEM fields, and limited participation in technology development and policymaking. Ultimately, debate on this topic will seek to examine strategies to promote inclusive innovation, strengthen ethical AI governance, expand women’s participation in emerging technology sectors, and ensure that technological advancement benefits women and girls across diverse social, economic, and cultural contexts.
Topic B: Advancing Women’s Economic Mobility
Despite meaningful progress in recent decades, women around the world continue to face systemic barriers to economic opportunity, including wage disparities, unequal access to education and financial services, and underrepresentation in leadership and entrepreneurship. Achieving sustainable economic mobility requires policies that promote equal access to quality employment, financial inclusion, and other social protections. Delegates will explore collaborative solutions to expand women’s economic participation and foster inclusive economic growth that empowers women across all stages of their careers.
Dear Delegates,
My name is Nylah Jordan and I am very excited to be serving as director of the World Conference on Women this year at HMUN 2027! I live in Los Angeles, California and I am a junior studying Government and Sociology at Harvard. At Harvard, I’m very involved in the Association of Black Harvard Women and the Harvard Questbridge Scholars Network. I also write for the Harvard Crimson and am involved in the Conferences Committee at the Harvard Institute of Politics, along with other civic engagement organizations on campus. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, finding the best matcha spots, and exploring new places with friends!
My Model UN journey began at HMUN 2025, where I served as Assistant Director for the Legal Committee. The following year, I had the opportunity to staff the World Health Organization at HMUN 2026. Through these experiences, I have come to appreciate how welcoming and exciting the MUN community is, especially as I meet and connect with so many people. I am incredibly excited to continue my HMUN journey as your director of the World Conference on Women to facilitate thoughtful, engaging, and productive debate.
I encourage you to approach committee with curiosity, and respect for one another's perspectives. I expect our topics to elicit discussions that encourage you all to think critically, collaborate creatively, and develop innovative solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing women today. I look forward to meeting all of you and seeing the creativity and passion that each of you will bring to committee!
Best Regards,
Nylah Jordan
Director, World Conference on Women
