Finland's Sanna Marin on Power, Family and the Gender Double Standard
Former Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin says female leaders are held to stricter moral standards than men, leaving little room for them to be seen as mothers, daughters or friends alongside their political roles. Her comments highlight the gender double standard in politics, where women's images and private lives face closer scrutiny. Marin, one of the world's youngest prime ministers during her term, drew global attention for both her policies and how the public viewed a young female leader.
