Uber’s “unprecedented plan for advancing gender equality” loses a key supporter.

Uber's partnership with UN Women lasted little more than a week.
Eight days after Uber allied with UN Women and made a bold promise to create 1 million jobs for women on its ride-hailing platform by 2020, the gender equality organization has abandoned the initiative, BuzzFeed News has confirmed.
Responding to public outcry over Uber's safety track record with female passengers and drivers, UN Women executive director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka cancelled the organization's partnership with the company.
"I want to assure you that not only are we listening, we are aligned," Miambo-Ngcuka said in a speech. "And I also want to assure you that UN Women will not accept the offer to collaborate on job creation with Uber."
Uber and UN Women have not yet responded to requests for comment.
