Sky News host Rita Panahi says this is further evidence “the UN is a hopelessly corrupt clown operation” after Iran was elected to the United Nations’ peak body on the status of women.
“As we all know, women in Iran are treated like second-class citizens… they do not enjoy equal rights under the law and are even locked up and beaten by the state for refusing to wear the hijab,” she said. “So naturally, the UN has elected the Islamist regime to its peak women’s group.
In fact, Iran has earned a four-year term on its Commission on the Status of Women, which is meant to be the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women.
“Though the ballot was secret, UN Watch has determined that at least four of the 15 EU and Western Group democracies voted for Iran.”
