Can't seem to find much mention of this in the press, other than right-wingish sites like Breitbart, fox news, etc.

China has recently been described as committing genocide on Uigyur women, including some highly disturbing acts (allegations of rape, forced sterilisation, etc)

Iran has a terrible recent history wrt women and girls' rights - stonings (to death) for 'vice', abuse by the state, restricting women's rights to education, freedom, etc. (info on this thread, content warning, sexual violence) twitter.com/Borna___/status/1385521139481468928?fbclid=IwAR2u3PMQhWu7i5ZtFrGn8xxvRMUcs6dArNSlviXTDMUjhYFT0yh70lgDgNE

The UN seems to be becoming a force for active harm. I recall it was accused of being complicit in some of the human rights abuses in China.

To anyone who has seen the UNwomen Twitter account, it can come as no surprise that the UN is a group who are now working against women’s rights.

Wow. Those two countries have such an impressive record on women's rights /sarcasm.

How are they justifying this, or are they not bothering?
