The United Nations is 75 years old \u2013 but there has never been a woman Secretary General. Now Antonio Guterres is standing for a second term, so it will likely be another five years before a woman candidate can have a chance at the UN\u2019s top job. Why is it taking so long?

In this episode host Imogen Foulkes talks to Heather Barr, co-director of the Women\u2019s Rights Division at Human Rights Watch, Geneva journalist Nick Cumming-Bruce, and analyst Daniel Warner.
