Sanna Marin Alleges Sexism Against Women in Her Government

Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin alleges sexism against women in her government, as stated in her published memoirs.

In her book, 'Hope in Action: A Memoir about the Courage to Lead,' Marin describes a 'relentless stream of online threats,' primarily of a sexual nature, targeting members of her government. She states that she received threats of rape and other sexual assaults.

In 2019, Marin became the youngest woman in the world to be elected to this office at the age of 34, leading a center-left coalition. However, her term was marked by reactions regarding her personal life, with videos of her partying with celebrities making headlines.

Following the Social Democrats' defeat in the April 2023 elections, Marin resigned from politics and became a strategic advisor at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.
