The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was called out on Twitter on Sunday for hypocrisy on the issue of women’s rights.
UNRWA initially tweeted, “In 2017, over 80,000 Palestine refugee community members were engaged in awareness-raising on gender equality and Gender Based Violence through various UNRWA-run activities.”

In response, the Geneva-based monitoring NGO UN Watch tweeted:
.@UNRWA If you care about “gender equality” why is your staff filled with members of the misogynistic Hamas? Also: If you support peace, why does your map in this photo erase Israel? https://t.co/jD0lwHK7AK
