Topic: Gender Equality in political Participation
In recent years, Gender equality has been paid attention to by many countries and the previous decades witnessed the accomplishment of CSW (Commission on the Status of Women). Totally speaking, the gap is closing. But in real life, women are faced with an inequitable treatment especially in political participation. For example, In Mauritania’s case, the proportion of women in parliaments is 22.1%⑴， while the highest proportion of single country is 56.3 %⑵Obviously, it is essential for us to solve this problem.
With the efforts of the UN, state governments, and other institutions, the protection of women’s rights have already been written into International Convention. As one of the least developed countries, Mauritania’s economy is based on herding and agriculture, the education is also poor⑶。 The government of Mauritania paid much attention to women’s rights and several political actions that helped to improve the statues of women have been carried out⑷。 Our government completed the constitution and women can take cabinet-level posts since 1987⑸。 We also attached great importance to education and tried hard to keep the public security steady.
Because of the lack of financial resources, Mauritania finds it hard to guarantee women’s rights in political participation. Based on Mauritania's basic condition, Mauritania urges that a program to be established to build regional cooperation. Because many countries’ economic structure like Mauritania is too weak to accomplish it by our own efforts. It solves the problems in promoting gender equality, such as the lack of monitoring and evaluation, limited capacity in gender mainstreaming, inadequate human and financial resources. The program should involve governments, NGOs, civil societies, and should offer support of successful experience to developing countries, especially least developed countries. We should also strengthen experience sharing and dialogues among different regions.

——题外话。
说实话当时并没有对议题的深入研究，写的PP都是特别浅层次的，仅仅抓住个“economy”不放说了个没完，后来看到PPsummary才发现我们的内容太少了。现在想起来真的觉得自己很不应该，寒假还是没有对模联有详细的研究。自责- -
另外我想知道为什么标题里的空格会自动消失= =
