Diane Nelson appeared at the
United Nations on October 21, 2016, the 75th anniversary of the first appearance of Wonder Woman, to mark the character's designation by the
United Nations as its "Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls". The gesture was intended to raise awareness of UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 5, which seeks to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by 2030. The decision was met with protests from UN staff members who stated in their petition to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that the character is "not culturally encompassing or sensitive", and served to objectify women. As a result, the character was stripped of the designation, and the project ended December 16. She left the office in January 2020, when she was appointed as the 14th
secretary of state for foreign affairs. In July 2021, new foreign minister
José Manuel Albares replaced her with
Ángeles Moreno Bau. From March 2022 to February 2024, she served as high commissioner for Spain's New language economy strategic project. ==References==
