TL;DR

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 2 (Reuters) - The United States will try to remove Iran from the 45-member U.N. Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) over the government's denial of women's rights and brutal crackdown on protests, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said on Wednesday."The United States believes that no nation that systematically abuses the rights of women and girls should play a role in any international or United Nations body charged with protecting these very same rights," Harris said in a statement.Iran has been gripped by protests since the death of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini in police custody last month."Iran has demonstrated through its denial of women's rights and brutal crackdown on its own people that it is unfit to serve on this Commission," Harris said.The meeting aimed to look for ways to promote credible, independent investigations into Iranian human rights abuses."
