Its beyond satire really...

The UN has just appointed (by acclamation - there were no other candidates put forward) the Ambassador from Saudi Arabia to he'd up the UN Commission that is supposed to promote women's rights across the world & empower women politically....

Given the grudging, uneven & slow progress on such empowerment in his own state, the notion that this can possibly be a positive more for global women is beyond belief.
