Israel only nation condemned in UN for women's right violations

From Ynetnews.com (Mar. 21):

Out of nine official documents produced from the UN's annual Commission on the Status of Women report, only one of the UN's 193 members were mentioned in regards to ongoing infringement of women's rights – Israel – in what Jerusalem says in another case of UN bias.

The document, titled the "Situation of and assistance to Palestinian women", slams Israel for the ongoing occupation of the West Bank, a situation which it says has led to "(h)igh levels of unemployment and poverty" among Palestinians, especially women.

"Palestinian women and girls still face significant obstacles in accessing basic services, health care, psychosocial support, water and sanitation, justice institutions and economic opportunities," the report noted.

It is worth noting that according to a 2014 World Economic Forum report, Israel ranked 57th out 137 for female political empowerment; the US ranked 54th and Saudi Arabia ranked 117th. Some 27 of Israel's 120 Knesset members are women.  [read more]

This report is pure B. S. The UN is a joke. Zell Miller is right UN is a useless nuisance.

Just so you know, Yemen, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF), is ranked last with the score of 0.515 (1 is the highest) for gender equality. So, if the UN is going to condemn a country maybe Yemen would be a better choice. I don’t what Palestine's ranking is. The WEF didn’t rank it.
