United Nations Women (UN Women)
Secretary
Yichia Lee
Hello! My name is Yichia Lee, and I am a current senior at the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park. I am honored to serve at the 23rd session of TAIMUN.
Someone once told me if you don’t at least make an attempt, you won’t ever know. In Model UN, you learn from experience and attempt things you have only ever tried in the confines of your own mind or room. You speak out so others can hear your ideas, make changes, and set precedents within your own small Model UN community; though small, these congregations have the potential to inspire young voices. You thrive in a vast pool of outspoken, creative delegates guided by your peers and your own values and opinions. This is the exact environment you join the moment you step into the diverse MUN community here in Taiwan.
I am incredibly thrilled to be sharing this eye-opening experience with you all. No matter how the conference goes, I know you will all flourish and grow in a new or even a more familiar atmosphere. Thank you for attending TAIMUN and trying your very best to make a change. Speak boldly, frankly, and openly because whatever you choose to do makes a difference for everyone else.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me via email at 438048@ibsh.tw or through Instagram at @yichiaelee.
I look forward to seeing you all.

Chair
Jasmine Li
Dear Delegates,
My name is Jasmine Li, a freshman at Taipei European School. I am greatly honored to be serving as deputy chair of UN Women in TAIMUN XXII. This conference marks the start of my chairing experience after attending several conferences as a delegate and I am very impatient to embark on this new, exciting and challenging journey.
I started MUN two years ago, stepping into my first conference with no idea of what MUN was and with the plan of staying in the corner, not uttering a word during the entire two day conference. Though I was timid and shy at the time, that first conference made me step out of my comfort zone and speak up more than I thought I was capable of. As I attended more and more conferences, these skills continued to develop, flourish and grow. Through these multiple experiences, I have pushed myself beyond my limits, built solid relationships with fellow delegates and developed complex, multifaceted views on the world’s most pressing issues. I sincerely hope that each delegate, regardless of whether you are someone who just discovered MUN a few weeks ago or one who has been doing MUN for years, will feel the same excitement and pride as I did, walking out of my first conference when TAIMUN XXII is over.
Outside of MUN, I am a keen golfer and swimmer. I also enjoy hanging out with my friends, listening to random music and reading books or watching series on Netflix in English, French and Mandarin. If you have any questions about MUN procedures or need any help with drafting resolutions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. My email address is jasmine.LIB2028@stu.tes.tp.edu.tw and my Instagram is (jasmineli14aug). Aside from that, I am looking forward to meeting all of you in March!
