UN staff protest as Wonder Woman named honorary ambassador

The United Nations has celebrated Wonder Woman's 75th birthday by naming the comic book character as its new honorary ambassador for the empowerment of woman and girls.

But the carefully-choreographed ceremony was marred by around 50 UN staffers protesting by the visitor's entrance who then went inside the Economic and Social Council chamber and silently turned their back to the stage during the opening speech, some with their fists in the air.
