The Brazilians also declared themselves as independent and other Spanish colonies freed themselves from Spanish rule.

- Why would joining the Austrian Netherlands and the Dutch Republic help to contain France?
By making countries surrounding France stronger and therefore making it harder for France to seize control over other nations.
- How did joining the 39 German states into a confederation help keep France in check?
By unifying the 39 states and creating the German Confederation, this made it stronger and more balanced to contain France and making it difficult to overpower other weaker nations.
- Why didn't the Congress of Vienna take more land from France?
They did not take more land from France since all countries should have equal power. If France gained more power, they would threaten all again. On the other hand, if France was powerless, other countries might gain power and threaten all other countries.

Eugenio Tijerina Position Paper
Committee: CSW
Topic: Establishing and enforcing wage parity
between genders
Country: Republic of Congo
Delegate: Eugenio Tijerina
School: Colegio Ingles
Women around the world
earn less money than men at every stage of life, and women get older and
continue into retirement the wage gap widens. Women at all education levels
lose significant amounts of income due to the wage gap, but women with the most
education lose the most in earnings. According to some estimates women
represent 70% of world’s poor. However, in many countries it goes far beyond
loss of formal jobs, most of women tend to work in the informal sector.
Domestics in cities do not show up in official unemployment numbers. In most
places women are paid less by just the fact that they are women, especially
women do worse depending on their education level.
The Republic of Congo is
in favor of establishing and enforcing wage parity between genders. The 70%
percent of the population of The Republic of Congo lives in poverty. Also, its
life expectancy is of 54.91 years, and
it is believed that if the poverty in The Republic Congo is reduced by
establishing and enforcing wage parity between genders, the life expectancy may
rise. The Republic of Congo hopes that the wage parity between genders is
enforced in Congo and Worldwide because it would be beneficial in more than
just the stated reasons. It may generate new jobs, raise the economy, and
people would feel equality, no matter the gender. Still, in Congo women suffer
from abuse a lot, and it would be beneficial if wage parity was enforced since
it may generate the employment of women. Congolese women have limited access to
education too. Education is also an important factor with wage parity, since it
may vary the salary for women. Still, Congo has no doubt about establishing and
enforcing wage parity between genders.
The
Republic of Congo recommends doing whatever needs to be done to establish and
enforce wage parity between genders and stop any other deeds that are being
unfair to the genders. Congo also proposes the following solutions: Set a
minimum payment limit for genders that would make it more equal. Also, promote
awareness so people can see this conflict and can also take action, and last
but not least set priorities and privileges to more people so that genders can
access to jobs easier. The Republic of Congo hopes this can come to a solution
with the countries that support to this cause as well as the cooperation and
consideration of the other countries.
