What's 5 countries of europe against a sure vote of the US^^

According to Wikipedia (link below), they do the following: "CSW has been described as the UN organ promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women. Every year, representatives of Member States gather at United Nations Headquarters in New York to evaluate progress on gender equality, identify challenges, set global standards and formulate concrete policies to promote gender equality and advancement of women worldwide."

Sounds like something Saudi Arabia should be part of.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Well, it's not a body that has any real meaning and nobody here and in the media ever before cared about this institution. But electing Saudi-Arabia is still a symbol that is a bad sign.

Saudi Arabia and women rights is the most iconic couple ever.

This is pathetic, women in Saudi Arabia can't drive cars and need permission of their "guardian" to leave the country.

They can't swim or exercise in public.

They even have to enter banks through a different entrance than men.

A dog in the west has more rights than women in Saudi Arabia.

But this is wonderful! With Saudi Arabia in that position at the UN, maybe something can be done to solve the worlwide plague of driving women!
