Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.00,0:01:56.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I was encouraged\Nto run for president,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.88,0:02:02.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my first reaction was,\N"Who am I to run for president?

Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.64,0:02:08.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It turns out that women
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.04,0:02:10.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are less likely\Nto consider running than men.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.60,0:02:14.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So a study done in the US in 2011

Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.00,0:02:34.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it really is a shame,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.32,0:02:39.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I am so convinced that the world\Nis in real need for women leaders
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.36,0:02:41.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and more principle-based leadership
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.44,0:02:42.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in general.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.08,0:02:46.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So my decision to run
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.68,0:02:51.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ultimately came down to the fact
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.16,0:02:52.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I felt
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.36,0:02:55.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I had to do my bit,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.64,0:03:00.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even if I had no political experience,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.92,0:03:04.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to step up and try to be part\Nof creating the world
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.56,0:03:08.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that will make sense and be sustainable
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.40,0:03:09.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for our kids,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.96,0:03:15.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a world where we truly allow\Nboth our boys and girls
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.36,0:03:17.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be all they can be.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.08,0:03:23.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it was the journey of my life.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.28,0:03:25.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was amazing.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.04,0:03:31.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The journey started with potentially\Nas many as 20 candidates.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.60,0:03:35.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It boiled down to\Nnine candidates qualifying,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.04,0:03:38.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and ultimately the race\Ncame down to four of us,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.12,0:03:41.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,three men and me.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.04,0:03:43.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.76,0:03:50.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that's not all the drama yet.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.48,0:03:52.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You may think you have drama in the US,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.76,0:03:53.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I can --
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.00,0:03:55.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.28,0:04:00.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can assure you\Nwe had our own drama in Iceland.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.08,0:04:03.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So our sitting president of 20 years
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.04,0:04:05.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,announced initially\Nthat he was not going to run,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.72,0:04:07.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is probably what gave rise
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.32,0:04:09.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to so many candidates considering running.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.88,0:04:13.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then later he changed his mind
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.12,0:04:16.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when our prime minister resigned
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.68,0:04:19.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,following the infamous Panama Papers
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.96,0:04:22.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that implicated him and his family.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.88,0:04:24.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there was a popular\Nprotest in Iceland,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.96,0:04:30.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so the sitting president thought\Nthey needed a trusted leader.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.04,0:04:35.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A few days later, relations\Nto his wife and her family's companies
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.04,0:04:37.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were also discovered in the Panama Papers,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.00,0:04:40.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so he withdrew from the race again.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.68,0:04:44.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Before doing so, he said he was doing that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.32,0:04:47.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because now there were two qualified men
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.28,0:04:51.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who he felt could fill his shoes\Nrunning for office.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.04,0:04:59.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So on May 9, 45 days before election day,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.48,0:05:01.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was not looking too good for me.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.72,0:05:06.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I did not even make the graph\Nin the newspaper.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.08,0:05:09.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The polls had me at 1 percent,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.08,0:05:10.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that was still the highest
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.56,0:05:13.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that any woman announcing\Nher candidacy had earned.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.44,0:05:20.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it would be an understatement\Nto say that I had to work extremely hard
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.20,0:05:22.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get my seat at the table
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.52,0:05:24.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and access to television,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.00,0:05:28.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the network decided\Nthat they would only include
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.44,0:05:31.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those with 2.5 percent\Nor more in the polls
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.88,0:05:33.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the first TV debate.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.68,0:05:38.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I found out on the afternoon\Nof the first TV debate
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.08,0:05:41.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I would participate\Nalong with the three men,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.84,0:05:44.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I found out on live TV
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.28,0:05:49.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I came in at exactly 2.5 percent\Non the day of the first TV debate.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.64,0:05:52.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.00,0:05:57.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, challenges.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.52,0:06:01.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The foremost challenges I had to face\Nand overcome on this journey
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.00,0:06:04.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,had to do with media, muscle and money.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.92,0:06:06.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's start with media.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.76,0:06:09.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are those who say\Ngender doesn't matter
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.16,0:06:10.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when it comes to media and politics.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.92,0:06:12.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can't say that I agree.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.44,0:06:17.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It proved harder for me\Nto both get access and airtime in media.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.80,0:06:21.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As a matter of fact, the leading candidate\Nappeared in broadcast media
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.16,0:06:24.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,87 times in the months\Nleading up to the elections,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.28,0:06:26.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whereas I appeared 31 times.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.72,0:06:31.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I am not saying\Nmedia is doing this consciously.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.88,0:06:34.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think largely this has to do\Nwith unconscious bias,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.80,0:06:37.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because in media,\Nmuch like everywhere else,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.28,0:06:42.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have both conscious\Nand unconscious bias,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.12,0:06:46.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we need to have the courage\Nto talk about it if we want to change it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.60,0:06:48.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I finally got access to TV,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.76,0:06:51.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the first question I got was,\N"Are you going to quit?"
Dialogue: 0,0:06:53.72,0:06:56.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that was a hard one.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:56.36,0:06:59.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But of course, with 1 percent\Nto 2.5 percent in the polls,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.24,0:07:00.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe it's understandable.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:01.16,0:07:04.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But media really matters,\Nand every time I appeared on TV,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:04.88,0:07:08.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we saw and experienced\Na rise in the polls,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:08.12,0:07:10.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I know firsthand how much this matters
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.76,0:07:13.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and why we have to talk about it.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.08,0:07:15.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was the only one\Nout of the final four candidates

Dialogue: 0,0:07:17.84,0:07:21.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was sometimes left out of the questions\Nasked of all other candidates
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.96,0:07:24.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and out of coverage about the elections.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.64,0:07:25.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I did face this,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.00,0:07:29.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I will say this\Nto compliment the Icelandic media.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.48,0:07:34.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got few if any comments\Nabout my hair and pantsuit.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.80,0:07:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So kudos to them.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.64,0:07:44.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there is another experience\Nthat's very important.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.12,0:07:46.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I ran as an independent candidate,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.40,0:07:49.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not with any political party\Nor muscle behind me.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:49.72,0:07:52.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That lack of experience
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.08,0:07:54.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and lack of access to resources
Dialogue: 0,0:07:54.36,0:07:57.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,probably came at a cost to our campaign,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.40,0:08:02.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it also allowed us to innovate\Nand do politics differently.
