The United Nations has removed Iran from women's rights body over protest crackdown. However, India 'abstained' from the vote to remove Iran from United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. US NSA Jake Sullivan, while speaking about the motion, said, "Today in a historic vote, the UN acted to remove Iran from Commission on the Status of Women in response to the Iranian regime’s systemic repression of women and girls."
