The Federative Republic of Brazil is aware about the problem that countries with
armed conflicts currently they face regarding sexual violence; this not only happened
in this countries, if not that nowadays is something global. Historically our nation had
reported many cases of sexual violence mainly domestic violence, but as well as in
Brazil also it happens in other countries; its whereby we have taken the appropriate
measures to generate a possible pacific solution to this problem.
As an example of this the government of Brazil has implemented laws for ensuring
support to victims of sexual violence and they manage to return to their normal life;
It's important know that Brazil is seeking the rights of women are respected, because
it is something that has been fought throughout history.

Topic B: Sexual education for teenagers and teenage pregnancy.

The Federative Republic of Brazil has promoted during several years the prevention
of STDs and teenagers pregnancy. Often these kind of problems are taken lightly,
but we must be aware that the education isnt only something primordial for the
human being, if not that is a tool for the development of a country. Brazil has faced a
hard challenge: sexually educate the population, sometimes the moral of each
person collides with this. Cannot be done big difference, if we dont pledge to a
change.
As an example of this, the Federative Republic of Brazil is looking media where
teenagers are informed about his sexuality, because it is a problem that starts from
home, so our government looks for ways in which the school and the home are
involved in this issue.
Additionally, As well as Brazil faces the previous challenge other countries also face,
so the Brazilian government seeks to create a bond between all countries in order to
reach a solution to this topic.
Consequently, The Federative Republic of Brazil makes the following proposals for
generating a solution:

1. Create campaigns in schools for that the teenagers be educated sexually.

2. Create a program to inform them of any concerns about your sexuality to all
the teenagers in the world.
3. Finally, as countries maintain communication about this topic so that they
monitor and not leave it this issue

The government of The Federative Republic of Brazil reaffirms its compromise with
this important topic and hopes that the possible solution obtained in this forum will be
satisfactory.
