Here is the result of the petition I gave a link to in the third message of this topic:
In short the IRI is no longer a part of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women and the vote was almost unanimous.
Quote:MEMBER STATES VOTE YES AND MAKE HISTORY
Today we have made history. The United Nations and its Member States heeded the call of Iranian women to remove the Islamic Republic of Iran from the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women, setting a new precedent in favor of women and girls, not just in Iran, but everywhere.
Today’s vote marks a pivotal step forward with the U.N. Member States removing a country from the Commission with an appalling record on women’s rights from its membership.
We commend the Member States for publicly upholding their duty to mandate and defend values that support gender equality and for standing on the right side of history. We thank you for signing our petition, and amplifying the voices for Iranians who are demanding their freedom.
This is a critical moment for leaders in the international community to continue to vocally and unequivocally demonstrate their support for women’s rights by standing in solidarity with Iranian women and girls.
To the Iranian women and their allies on the ground continuing to fight tirelessly, we will continue to listen to you, support you, and boldly move in ways that provoke justice, fairness and equality for you and all women, all life and all freedom.
In solidarity,
Coalition of Iranian Women, Vital Voices Global Partnerships & For Freedoms
In short the IRI is no longer a part of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women and the vote was almost unanimous.
