Hi, this is Michelle. Despite significant global progress in sexual and reproductive rights over the last decades, certain women have been left out due to their ethnic background, social status, location or sexual orientation, according to a new report by the UN Population Fund.

We speak to the UNFPA's chief, Natalia Kanem, about what went wrong there, and the prospects of a future US presidency that may not have the agency's back.

UNFPA chief: We see ‘orchestrated efforts’ to reverse gains in sexual and reproductive rights.

Geneva Solutions spoke to the agency's head, Natalia Kanem, about what has led to that shortfall.
