[Music] [Applause] Hello. Good morning. I hope you've all had a pleasant day so far.Please rise, but don't actually. Court is now in session.

First as a public prosecutor specializing in domestic and sexual violence and then more recently as the minister for gender equality in Sweden. Let's be honest, we live in an unequal world. Men hold more power. Boys have more freedom and women and gir ...
