This YouTube video created by WILPF explains that shrinking space for women's voices at the UN has been an issue for a long time and gives insight into this problem. In order to guide the UN away from a slippery slope and back to its Charter, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) gathered more than 150 women's rights and peace activists from around the world in April 2017 to discuss how to make the UN more inclusive and make women count within the UN system.
