🚨 #SaudiArabia was just elected as chair of UN Commission on the Status of Women @UN_CSW, the UN's main forum for women's rights. A short thread 🧵with @hrw's reaction: HRW: “#SaudiArabia’s election as chair of @UN_CSW shows shocking disregard for women’s rights everywhere."
@UN_CSW @hrw @widadfranco @heatherbarr1 @joycebukuru @SherineT @AmnestyUN .@hrw: "A country that jails women simply because they advocate for their rights has no business being the face of the UN’s top forum for women’s rights and gender equality." #SaudiArabia
@loucharbon @UN_CSW @hrw @widadfranco @heatherbarr1 @joycebukuru @SherineT @AmnestyUN It’s such a short thread that you should have just avoided posting.

@loucharbon @UN_CSW @hrw @widadfranco @heatherbarr1 @joycebukuru @SherineT @AmnestyUN Looking forward to seeing how the pro-Hamas @NZGreens deal with this one. From the river to the sea and all that.
@loucharbon @UN_CSW @hrw @widadfranco @heatherbarr1 @joycebukuru @SherineT @AmnestyUN Who do they buy for this one?
@loucharbon @UN_CSW @hrw @widadfranco @heatherbarr1 @joycebukuru @SherineT @AmnestyUN Another sick joke from the UN! @UN_CSW
@loucharbon @UN_CSW @hrw @widadfranco @heatherbarr1 @joycebukuru @SherineT @AmnestyUN Does HRW have a press release? The article you linked is from the 19th before they were elected.
