Description

When she became prime minister of Finland at age 34, Sanna Marin was the youngest government leader in the world. During the day, she steered her country through crises including the pandemic and neighbouring Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But her life off-the-job, having fun with friends, tended to catch the attention of the global press and led to scandals at home. Marin joins Piya Chattopadhyay to reflect on that experience, and the changes she wants to see, to ensure women aren't discouraged from stepping up and getting involved.
