Danish supermodel Josephine Skriver was born and raised in Copenhagen in 1993 and is now 32 years old. She currently lives in Nashville and, alongside her international modeling career with brands like Prada, Gucci, and Chanel, she co-founded the fitness apparel brand JoJa with her friend Jasmine Tookes. Over 8.5 million people follow her life on Instagram. Last August, she became a mother to her daughter Aurora with musician Alexander DeLeon.

But did you know she’s also an ambassador for PlanBørnefonden? She’s been involved since 2021, dedicating both time and financial support to the cause. And once again, during this year’s Copenhagen Fashion Week, she chose to give back.

Josephine Skriver is donating all her earnings from her shows for Danish fashion brands Gestuz and Munthe to PlanBørnefonden’s work supporting girls’ and women’s rights.

Josephine Skriver says:
“I have met some of the girls and women supported by PlanBørnefonden and spoken with them about the consequences of living in some of the world’s most vulnerable areas. They face many challenges, yet show incredible strength and fight for change, often without much attention. It means a lot to me to use my platform to shine a light on their stories.”

In addition to Josephine Skriver’s contribution, Munthe, one of PlanBørnefonden’s partners, has also donated 25,000 DKK, bringing the total amount to 75,000 DKK.

Dorthe Petersen, CEO of PlanBørnefonden, says:
“We are very grateful for this generous donation. It sends a powerful message at a time when girls’ and women’s rights are under significant pressure in many parts of the world. We appreciate Josephine using her voice, time, and work to highlight these critical issues.”

Det er ikke første gang, at Josephine Skriver bruger sin stemme og sit arbejde til at bakke op om PlanBørnefondens arbejde. Tidligere på sommeren lancerede hun sin egen indsamling til PlanBørnefondens Pigefond, og i samarbejde med Mads Nørgaard har hun designet en særlig #101 tee, hvor overskuddet fra salget går til indsamlingen.

Kampen for piger og kvinders rettigheder er blevet særligt vigtig for hende.

Josephine Skriver supplerer:
”Ligestilling har altid været en mærkesag for mig, men efter jeg er blevet mor, har jeg tænkt meget på, hvor uretfærdigt udgangspunktet er rundt omkring i verden – især for pigerne. Alle børn har ret til en tryg barndom, og alle har ret til at bestemme over egen krop. Det er vigtigt for mig, at min datter vokser op med en forståelse for, at vi skal stå sammen for at sikre de rettigheder.”
