The United Nations put Saudi Arabia on its commission for the empowerment of women Wednesday, despite the country mandating women can’t leave home without a male guardian.
The UN’s Economic and Social Council voted by secret ballot to put Saudi Arabia on the Commission on the Status of Women.
It is the principal international organization responsible for the “promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women,” according to the commission’s website.

When we throw the UN out of the U.S. and into the trash pile where they belong.
I wonder how many of the 30+ genders that the NY University system that Saudi arabia recognizes?
And the UN continues to confirm our suspicion that they have no earthly relevance ........ whatsoever.
What a joke.
There is no place on earth that is more misogynist than Saudi Arabia and no ideology more hostile to women than Islam.
Car keys for every woman!
Yeah, that’ll work.
I AGREE!!!!
I for one am please to know this commission will accomplish little.
But the downside is it will also suck a lot of money to accomplish that.
More insanity. Just what we didn’t need.
Typical for the UN. The United States should get out of the UN.
Oh geez, The Saudi’s say ‘sure ladies - go ahead a drive a car’. But, they also say that driving a car causes problems with a women’s female organs which can result in infertility or miscarriages.
....
Yea, these sound like the type of people that should sit on the board for women’s rights. /big sarcasm.
They get more absurd every year. Though I think they peaked when they put Iran on the Human Rights Commission.
The UN’s Economic and Social Council voted by secret ballot to put Saudi Arabia on the Commission on the Status of Women.
The UN sure hasn’t turned out the way it was intended or at least the way it was sold.
What a horrifying joke.
Does the UN (or Ivanka) define “empowerment”?
How will the world know when women are sufficiently gender-equalized and empowered?
What? They’re keeping it vague; nebulous? Gee, I wonder why?
Why do we indulge those in this charade?
The saudis.know how to get their money’s worth.
Yep the UN is a Joke and we must stop funding it
the fine editors of Mad Magazine would reject this story as too absurd to parody
