Get a seat on the HRC?

Women's rights are human rights and I'm surprised they would in any way support equality for women. What am I missing? LGBTQ are human rights issues. Freedom of religion or not is a human right. Why are these theocracies on the HRC?

That being said... I've always voted with my $. People have the right to vote with their $.

But the UN HRC lacks all credibility by condemning Israel and turning a blind eye to the atrocious human rights records of their members. Hypocrisy.
