Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin discusses gender equality in politics at the 2020 World Economic Forum in Davos.
Her coalition government is made up of five parties, all with female leaders.
"Actually I didn't focus on the media attention so much," she said, pointing out that five parties in Finland's coalition government are all led by women and four of these leaders are under the age of 35. When asked how Finland's female-led government now worked, the prime minister joked that it operated in the same way as a political office dominated by men, that they did not "meet in female locker rooms and have locker room talk."
Despite being considered as a "pioneering" country for gender equality, Marin admitted Finland still had someway to go to achieve parity.
