Just two months after her appointment, Wonder Woman's stint as honorary ambassador for female empowe
Just two months after her appointment, Wonder Woman's stint as honorary ambassador for female empowerment at the United Nations will end this week.
The UN's decision to fire Wonder Woman came after critics, including several UN employees and nearly 45,000 people who signed an online Care2 petition, decried the character as too "overtly sexualized" to serve as the face of global female empowerment.

The campaign was initially intended to last through 2017, coinciding with a Wonder Woman comic book centered on empowering women and girls. According to NBC News, that comic book will be released as planned.
On Twitter, the UN's decision is eliciting mixed reactions, with some insisting that Wonder Woman — who hails from a society free of men and was at least partially based on Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger — has been unfairly maligned by detractors.

Meanwhile, DC Entertainment representative Courtney Simmons told Reutersthat despite the end of Wonder Woman's ambassadorship, she is confident the character will continue to be a strong role model for women and girls.
"Wonder Woman stands for peace, justice and equality, and for 75 years she has been a motivating force for many and will continue to be long after the conclusion of her UN honorary ambassadorship,” she said.
