Contributing sentiments towards policy:
43% : Iran, which ranks 143rd among 146 countries in the World Economic Forum's global gender gap index, was voted onto the commission by secret ballot.38% : The vote to oust Iran from the commission came days after the country carried out a second known execution of a prisoner detained and convicted amid nationwide protests challenging the country's theocracy.
36% : Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, died in September, a few days after being taken into custody by morality police in Tehran for allegedly failing to fully cover her hair and defying the country's strict dress codes.
35% : "It is not at all unexpected that the United States is taking such unlawful action against Iran given its longstanding hostility towards the Iranian people, but if carried out, it would be exceedingly dangerous to the U.N. system integrity," Iravani said.
34% :Twenty-nine members of the U.N. Economic and Social Council voted in favor of a resolution put forward by the U.S. for the immediate termination of Iran from the commission for the remainder of its 2022-2026 term.
32% : Iran was expelled from the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women on Wednesday after the United States called for its ouster over Tehran's "systematic oppression" of women and violent crackdown on street protests over the death of Mahsa Amini.
28% : In the wake of Amini's death, Iranian activists abroad and human rights groups called on the Biden administration to rally other countries to remove Iran from the U.N. commission over its response to protests, which Iranian women have been at the forefront of.
25% : Prior to the vote, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said Iran's membership put an "ugly stain" on the commission's credibility.
