Wow! 16-year-old girl made Finland's Prime Minister for a day

Aava Murto, a 16-year-old girl, was made Finland's Prime Minister for a day as part of the global 'Girls Takeover' campaign to promote girls' rights. Murto said her message to decision-makers has been that girls "need to realise more how important they are, and how they are just as good at technology as boys".

Finnish Prime Minister had a quieter than usual day on Wednesday after she handed her power to a 16-year-old girl as apart of a campaign to promote girls' rights in the country, reported AFP.

In other words, Marin made a teenager the Prime Minister of the country for a day.

The teenager is Aava Murto of Vaasky in southern Finland. She said she was having an 'exciting day' as she faces the media on the steps of the parliament after a meeting with the chancellor of justice.

Aava is an active campaigner on issues relating to climate changes and human rights. On Wednesday, she spoke to several MPs and ministers for development and foreign trade.

"Need to realise more how important they (girls) are, and how they are just as good at technology as boys. I think young people could teach adults to be more innovative and think more about the future," she told AFP.

The move of 'PM for a day' is part of a global 'Girls Takeover' campaign by children's rights charity Plan International. The organisation aims to raise awareness of girls' digital skills in technological industries and highlight the problem of online harassment of women.

Interestingly, this isn't the only swap that is part of the campaign.

Top jobs at leading companies like Facebook, Microsoft Twitter, and Samsung will also go to teenage girls in countries like the Philippines, the Netherlands, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
