A UN Women s Valentine’s Day illustration on social media has been removed after it was criticised for featuring a range of couples and a single black woman standing alone.
The cartoon, which drew backlash and has since been deleted, showed three couples of various backgrounds holding hands and hugging, as well as a lone black woman hugging herself.

Chinese lettuce wraps or san choy bow are a favourite for Chinese New Year as lettuce is considered symbolic of fortune and prosperity. Moreover, the combination of savoury chicken, fish or any other protein over a bed of crunchy lettuce is not just delicious – it’s also low carb, and a tasty snack for any time of the day or year.
