UN Women

Esteemed Delegates,

My name is Marianna Montoya, and it is an honor to serve as your president for this edition of the UN Women Committee. I am truly excited to guide you through this important discussion on The Pink Tax: Addressing Gender-Based Pricing Discrimination, a topic that highlights the subtle yet pervasive economic challenges women worldwide face.

The Pink Tax refers to a persistent pricing disparity in which products and services marketed towards women cost more than comparable items marketed towards men. Whether it appears in everyday essentials such as hygiene products and clothing, or in services like dry cleaning and healthcare, these discrepancies reflect deep-rooted gender and income inequalities embedded within modern economic and social structures.

Throughout this conference, you will be challenged to think critically, collaborate diplomatically, and approach this topic with empathy, open-mindedness, and creativity. As delegates, your role is not only to analyze the causes and consequences of this issue, but also to envision innovative solutions that safeguard fairness and equality.

I look forward to guiding you through this journey of learning and cooperation, as well as to witnessing the dedication, insight, and passion you will bring to our sessions. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require support along the way.

Sincerely,
Marianna Montoya
UN Women President
