Invitation goes out to members in January.
Meeting is in Danish.
Økonomisk ligestilling er ikke kun et spørgsmål om løn, det former hele kvinders liv, frihed og handlemuligheder.
I dette oplæg sætter Benedikte Løje Nielsen fra Kvindeøkonomien fokus på de strukturer og valg, der skaber økonomisk ulighed mellem kvinder og mænd gennem livet.
Med afsæt i barsel, indkomst, pension, investering og magt ser vi på, hvor uligheden opstår og hvad vi hver især kan gøre for at ændre den, både for os selv og for andre.
Guests who would like to join the meeting to get to know IMA and what we offer, please reach out to chair@ima-network.org.

Tapahtumakutsu on lähetetty kaikille jäsenillemme. Poislukien yritysjäsenet.
Clothing isn’t just about style - it’s a powerful language of authority, identity, and even resistance. In this eye-opening lecture, explore the rich history of fashion in politics and discover how modern leaders and iconic figures have used their wardrobes to shape public perception, communicate powerful messages, and influence society.We will trace the journey from the elaborate attire of world leaders to the statement-making wardrobes of Jacqueline Kennedy, Princess Diana, Eva Peron, Margaret Thatcher, Queen Letizia, and Melania Trump. See how colours, accessories, and even brands become tools for diplomacy, defiance, and solidarity- whether it’s the symbolism behind Queen Elizabeth II’s brooches or the legacy of the “revenge dress.” You’ll also discover how designers like Christian Dior played unexpected roles in shaping political narratives.In this lecture, you will learn:
This is not just about trends. It’s about understanding how what we wear can be a statement of who we are, and how history’s most influential women have used style as a form of political and personal expression.Featured quote: “You know, the standard robe is made for a man, because it has a place for the shirt to show and tie, so Sandra Day O'Connor and I thought it would be appropriate if we included, as part of our robe, something typical of a woman so I have many, many collars.” — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Late Supreme Court JusticePerfect for anyone interested in the intersection of style, leadership, and influence.
About our SpeakerMaryna Venneri’s journey began in post-Soviet Ukraine, where she discovered a love for style while exploring second-hand shops with her mother. After a modelling career during her student years, Maryna transitioned into personal styling, completing advanced courses both in Ukraine and internationally—including the prestigious INSIDE LVMH Certificate.With a BA in International Relations and Sociology and a Joint MA in European and Global Affairs, Maryna’s academic background is a testament to how her professional expertise intertwines with her passion for fashion. Her unique perspective bridges the worlds of politics and fashion, allowing her to explore and share the inspiring intersections between influence and self-expression.Now based in Brussels, Maryna curates photoshoots, collaborates with clients across borders, and empowers women to express their power and identity through personal style.
