Washington, March 22 (RHC)-- The Donald Trump administration has denied visas to dozens of women scheduled to attend a United Nations women’s conference this month.  Campaigners say at least 41 women were denied entry to the U.S. to attend the annual Commission on the Status of Women -- most of them from nations blacklisted under Trump’s travel ban. 

The move is an apparent violation of a 70-year-old treaty which obligates the United States to allow entry to people attending the United Nations headquarters in New York City.
