SPSSI is pleased to announce the United Nations has ended a campaign featuring Wonder Woman as an ambassador for women and girls, two months after the announcement was met with protests and a petition complaining that the fictional superhero was an inappropriate choice to represent female empowerment.

SPSSI members expressed outrage that the UN chose a fictional character to inspire women and girls worldwide after rejecting the call for woman to be appointed the next Secretary-General when there are many real-life women and girls who live inspiring lives from which to choose.
