An analysis carried out by CIVICUS indicates that in far too many countries and in all global regions, the space for civil society to carry out its work has worsened appreciably in recent years. The sources and methods of restriction are manifold, with attacks emanating from political leaders, government agencies, criminal elements linked to private entities, extremists and terrorists. More details on the analysis and the current shrinking space of civil society is available here.
