"Organize events to orange streets, schools and landmarks."
The UN has been doing this since 2014: it is a ghoulish joke about women's rights and ending violence against girls and women.
That's the Tweet from Emma Watson's Twitter page that has a link to this UN Women webpage:
These are pictures from today of that page:
These are pictures from today of part of the first page of the website to which the link that says "Read our toolkit" directs the reader:
The United Nations knows that the inappropriately placed Wet Floor signs, Caution cones and other orange and yellow paraphernalia that I have documented since 2011 are all symbols of misogyny and support for sexual abuse from harassment to stalking to voyeurism to involuntary pornography to child molestation.
The United Nations has a terrible record of sexually abusing the vulnerable population that it's supposed to be protecting. Of course it wants to pretend that I'm the villain of what's happened since 2010 and that the conglomerate is a proponent of human rights instead of a destroyer of them.
This is the Web address of the pages of search results for a Google search from today of the term "un sex trade":
I don't know if it was somebody's supposedly smart idea to try to turn the conglomerate's abuse of Caution paraphernalia against the conglomerate. That's the most positive interpretation of this situation that I could think of. If that's what someone was trying to do, it won't work. Those signs are supposed to be used to warn people about actual wet floors and other physical dangers. If they're perpetually placed where those dangers aren't happening, people will ignore them when there are dangers and then they'll get hurt. There are regulations for how those signs are supposed to be placed; they're not supposed to be strewn around where there is no physical danger, and they're supposed to be put away as soon as the need to warn of hazards is over.
Trying to say that it's all right for all of those signs to be around all the time because you think that nobody will ever be able to stop the misuse of them is the kind of thing that people who have never worked at service jobs for more than a few months during college vacations, if that, would do. They, and those among the construction workers, janitors and other service personnel who like being told that they can sexually abuse people, are the people who are saying that it's not a problem to leave those signs all over the world where and when they're not supposed to be.
Which signs does the United Nations think should be used to indicate actual physical danger? Does the United Nations think that another set of signs should be designed and manufactured to place around the world that say "Caution: There's actually wet floor or another physical hazard here," and put everywhere that they're needed in addition to all of the inappropriately placed orange and yellow signs? If so, what colors does the United Nations think the new signs should be?
