Dozens of Jewish women and their supporters marched in front of UN headquarters to highlight the October 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas, AFP reports.

Chanting “shame on UN”, demonstrators sported banners reading “rape is rape”, while speakers attacked the UN for inaction over the mistreatment of Israeli women.

“I call it the ‘United Nothing’ … why do we have to be here to tell the UN to protect people?” said demonstrator Hillary Larson, 64, a pediatric nurse from New York.
