Mahtab Keramati's resignation from UNICEF

Mahtab Keramati, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for Peace, has resigned from her position at the global organization.

Mahtab Keramati is a famous Iranian actress and children's and women's rights activist who was selected as a "Goodwill and Peace Ambassador" by UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) in 2006.

Mahtab Keramati announced her resignation from UNICEF by posting a text on her Instagram account (also on the letterhead of the United Nations Children's Fund). She wrote in the text: "I, Mahtab Keramati, have always been a place where I could do something for children. I am announcing my resignation from UNICEF..."

Mahtab Keramati had previously reacted to the popular protests this year, which resulted in the killing of many children, as well as the use of children under the age of 18 by the Islamic Republic regime to suppress the people. Following this reaction, she had stated that she stood with and sympathized with the people of my country and condemned any violence against people, especially women and children.

 He also emphasized that he had reported the heartbreaking reports of the killing of children, and the abuse of children under 18 to suppress the people, to UNICEF officials and was following up on them. But today he is publishing his resignation letter.

The question is: What is the reason for Mahtab Keramati's resignation from this position, in which she has defended the rights of children and women for years?
