  • This house believes that feminist movements in Asia should prioritize adaptation to local cultural contexts over universal feminist values.

    Infoslide

    Universal Feminist Values refer to core principles that apply equally across all countries and cultures. These include equal rights for women and men, equal opportunities in education and the workplace, non-discrimination, and the full right of women to make decisions about their bodies and lives. For instance, the UN's CEDAW convention universally recognizes women's rights worldwide. On the other hand, Cultural Adaptation of Feminism refers to presenting feminist ideas and movements in a way that aligns with the culture, customs, and social structures of a particular society. This makes the messages more acceptable to local people. For example, in South Korea, feminists have advocated for women's rights in the workplace while maintaining Confucian family values, or in South Asia, promoting girls’ education as a means to ""strengthen the family.””

A person may switch freely between them but can only inhabit one body at any given time. On their 20th birthday, the currently uninhabited body will permanently disintegrate. For the purpose of this debate, Fluidum’s effects only apply to those born within the realm of Fluidum and society always treats both bodies as fundamentally the same individual.
