UN campaign blasted for ’tasteless’ portrayals of Syria’s rural poor - Middle Easy Eye
Social media users accuse video of promoting ’ugly messages and entrenching social schisms’ in war-torn country
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has come under fire for showcasing a “tasteless” campaign video for its latest project in Syria intended to shed light on social issues in the war-torn country.
The video clip, published on Twitter on Sunday by UNDP Syria for the organisation’s Theatre for Change project, was accompanied by a quote from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres: “Many women under lockdown for #COVID19 face violence where they should be safest: in their own homes.”
