Wonder Woman has had her golden tiara hung up and her ambassadorship to the UN relinquished1 after tens of thousands of people signed a petition calling on the organisation2 to ditch the comic book character.
 
在上万人联名请愿要求联合国炒掉神奇女侠后,这位漫画人物摘下了她的金色桂冠,放弃了联合国形象大使的身份。
 
 
Officials appointed the superhero as an ambassador in October, ahead of a 2017 empowerment campaign for women and girls.
 
But the choice of the white, curvaceous and scantily3 clad superhero attracted heavy criticism. Almost 45,000 people signing an online petition calling for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to drop the character and dozens of UN employees protested at UN headquarters on the day of the appointment.
 
"Although the original creators may have intended Wonder Woman to represent a strong and independent 'warrior4' woman with a feminist5 message, the reality is that the character's current iteration is that of a large breasted, white woman of impossible proportions," the petition said.
 
"It is alarming that the United Nations would consider using a character with an overtly6 sexualized image at a time when the headline news in United States and the world is the objectification of women and girls. "
 
The UN did not explain why the project with Wonder Woman would come to such an apparently7 abrupt8 end on Friday.
 
Yet spokesperson Jeffrey Brez said campaigns using such fictional9 characters often lasted only a few months, Reuters reported.
