Absurd: Saudi Arabia Now Tasked With Promoting “Gender Equality” Worldwide as Head of Women’s Rights Commission
Abdulaziz Alwasil
At the Commission on the Status of Women’s (CSW) annual meeting in New York in March, the Saudi ambassador to the UN, Abdulaziz Alwasil, was elected as chair of the commission with no dissent.
The commission, which focuses on promoting gender equality and empowering women around the world, is now being led by a country with an “abysmal” record on women’s rights.
Meet Abdulaziz Alwasil of Saudi Arabia, the new Chair of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women.
He now heads “the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women.” https://t.co/WrAUowcV32 pic.twitter.com/tjGQjTRxGn
