The UN has ended its campaign with comic book heroine Wonder Woman, a spokesman says, less than two months after her appointment sparked outrage.
The superhero had been declared an honorary ambassador to promote messages about women's empowerment and gender-based violence.
The character's "sexualised" appearance was one element critics seized on to deem the choice inappropriate.
A petition against the selection gathered nearly 45,000 signatures.
The UN did not explain why the project with Wonder Woman, announced in October, would end on Friday.
But spokesman Jeffrey Brez said campaigns using fictional characters often lasted no longer than a few months, Reuters news agency reported.
DC Entertainment, which publishes DC Comics, said it was pleased with the exposure Wonder Woman had brought to the cause.
Warner Bros and DC Entertainment are supporting a year-long campaign by the UN and its children's agency, Unicef, for gender equality and women's empowerment.

UN employees turn their backs during the announcement of Wonder Woman's role
How much money does the US waste on this nonsense?
Here is the Wonder Woman desired by the UN:
I think we pump at least 10 billion into that rathole each year...
Waste...waste...waste
Wonder who made the big bucks on this.
About one quarter of the UN budget.
Take it from there...
That photograph says everything that can be said about the judgement of these libtards. To consciously present such an unflattering portion of their anatomy to a camera for posterity clearly questions their ability to handle responsibility. Even teenage boys who hang this part out of a moving car on Friday evening can grow up to be sensible men some day. These cows are past the point of improving upon their potential.
She offended the muslims, the SJW’s and the rabid feminists.
Makes me wonder, why do the SJW’s and feminists scream bloody murder about the stifling patriarchy in the US but never raise a murmur about the very real and brutal patriarchal system in the muslim world?
Guess they’re scared of losing their heads over the issue.
Perhaps it was less unflattering than a full frontal view?
If the UN wanted a woman to represent empowerment, I could think of no other woman than Sarah Palin. She is the embodiment of what an empowered woman is. Business woman, governor, mother, wife, outdoorsmen.
It would seem that, at the UN, anyway, a pleasant face and great t*ts are verboten.
Great tots are never verboten!
Only at the UN. Personally, I LOVE to munch on them t*ts.
Crispy potato puffs with a golden, fried outer crispiness.
A little salt... a little ketchup...
They can’t be beat!
What will they choose? a “woman” who’s really a man, but calls itself “transgendered”?
What? Our Muslim Overlords objected to a half-naked woman dressed in red, white, and blue? Imagine!!
I wonder what famous equation could be derived by watching Wonder Woman running moving like that?
lol. Is the UN REAL? Or is it just the silliest prank EVER played on Americans? And the world.
