Commotion: Iran Elected to UN Commission on Status of Women

Commotion: Iran Elected to UN Commission on Status of Women

The UN didn't name Iran on the board (Getty).

Emerging story

UN Watch, a non-governmental organization, based in Geneva, alleged that Iran was elected to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women for a four-year term long.

EXCLUSIVE: U.N. Elects Iran to Commission on Women’s Rightshttps://t.co/8DmlGdMoEH

— UN Watch (@UNWatch) April 21, 2021

UN Watch and Iranian activists condemned Iran’s election onto the CSW in particular, calling it “a black day for women’s rights, and all human rights.”

This is surreal.

A regime that treats women as 2nd class citizens, jails them for not wearing compulsory hijab, bans them from singing, bars them from stadiums & doesn't let them travel abroad without the permission of their husbands gets elected to UN's top women's rights body https://t.co/VdGOkWxZgG
