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.

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.
