Number of female members of parliament in Finland 1983-2023

How far has gender equality progressed in Finland? In the 2023 election, 46 percent representatives in the Parliament of Finland (in Finnish: eduskunta) were female. Finland is known for being the first country in Europe to grant women the right to vote and run for office, as well as the first to grant universal suffrage regardless of ethnicity or resources. These rights were adopted in 1906, the same year as the Parliament of Finland was established. The third female prime minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, was instated in December 2019. At that time, she was both the world's youngest current state leader as well as the youngest prime minister ever in Finland.

芬兰的性别平等进程已取得何种进展？在2023年的选举中，芬兰议会（芬兰语：eduskunta）46%的议员为女性。芬兰被誉为欧洲首个赋予女性投票权及参选资格的国家，亦为首个不论种族或资源均实行普选制的国家。这些权利于1906年被采纳，与芬兰议会的成立同年。2019年12月，芬兰第三位女总理桑娜·马林上任，当时她不仅是全球最年轻的国家领导人，也是芬兰历史上最年轻的总理。
