    Annette Spanggaard

    Annette Spanggaard har altid haft en passion for at støtte mennesker, der har brug for en ekstra hånd. Hun er storesøster til en lillebror, der lider af downs syndrom, og der er ingen tvivl om, at passionen har rødder i kærligheden til ham. Senere i livet blev hun enlig mor med en tre måneder gammel datter. Igen fik hun en udfordring. Men hun var vandt til at tage fat og hjælpe. Denne gang sig selv og hendes kvindelige selvstændighed samt sin spæde datter. Netop emnet, kvindelig selvstændighed, kom hun til at brænde for. Hun tænkte, at der måtte være modeller, der kunne hjælpe hende igennem virvaret af spørgsmål enlige, kvindelige forsørgere bliver konfronteret med. Hvordan kunne hun udleve sine drømme, fortsætte sin karriere, klare sig økonomisk? Når hun havde fundet modellen, lovede hun sig selv at dele den med andre kvinder, specielt dem, der ikke er så heldige som hun var. Hun havde en uddannelse og et job samt boede i Danmark, der er rekordholder i ligestilling Annette Spanggaard er civiløkonom, journalist og korrespondent i fransk og engelsk. Hun er mor til to voksne børn og bor i Fredensborg i Danmark.

      The Scandi Female Code - Annette Spanggaard

      NØDHJÆLP

      CHAPTER 1

      INTRODUCING

      THE SCANDI FEMALE CODE

      WHY THE SCANDI FEMALE CODE?

      The impact of investment in education and personal development is profound – and the most important one a country can make in its people and its future. Education is the single most effective means of reducing poverty. It results in rising incomes, improved health, and greater gender equality, and helps people thrive by making it possible for them to realise their dreams. Still, millions of women don't unlock their full potential because they don't go to school – and plenty of women who do have an education still don't live their dream lives.

      Modern Danish women have the great fortune of being born and bred in a country with some of the best female–empowering fertile ground in the world. Because of this, we know that there is a solution to the immense problem of untapped female potential: one of the biggest issues facing our world today. The Scandi Female Code offers a starting point to uncovering and realising this potential, one woman at a time.

      But first, a few words on how Scandinavian women got where we are today. An unlikely story, with a string of countries settled by bloodthirsty Vikings ultimately becoming a leading region for gender enlightenment. The change for women in Denmark and Scandinavia came with literacy, a legacy from the Protestant Reformation (1517–1648) led by Martin Luther, where Scandinavia underwent a huge shift from Catholicism to Lutheran Protestantism. The Scandinavian Lutherans were concerned with equality through education for men as well as for women. To make the wisdom of the day available to all, the Bible was translated into local languages.

      Scandinavia believed in freedom and did not spend a lot of effort on huge imperialist adventures. Instead, it invested in the military, primarily to ward off invaders who threatened the region's freedom.

      Industrialisation, another ingredient for the present societal model, hit Scandinavia in the late 19th century. Scandinavia had a rich merchant class, but no big industrial power centres. In the 20th century, farmers and workers joined trade unions to mount a serious challenge to the rich merchants and industry owners. A democratic, social and economic system emerged, with jobs for all, decent pay for equal work, and a strong social safety net.

      The Scandinavian model developed further. Education continued to be key to societal progress and, though taxes, was made free and accessible to all citizens from the age of six and through university. With free education followed the possibility of DREAMING – one of four pillars upon which the Danish and Scandinavian models are built.

      Democracy prospered and trade unions fought for gender equality, helping to empower women to believe in themselves and to unfold their potential. BELIEVING is thus the second pillar of The Scandi Female Code.

      The Danish model is based on free and quality public care in terms of healthcare, childcare and care for the elderly, as the services are paid for through taxes all Scandinavians pay. This allows Scandinavian women to plan a career in combination with raising a family, because they can trust that there is quality childcare for their children while they are at work. People have six weeks of paid holidays and a year or more of paid maternity or paternity leave. Scandinavians need not worry about the elderly, as they are provided for as well at elderly homes, allowing generations to gather primarily for enjoyable social reasons. When you get ill, quality medical care is also free. PLANNING is thus the third societal
