The Initiative for Inclusive Feminism (Norwegian: Inkluderende feminisme-initiativet; IFI) is a Norwegian intersectional feminist organization that works for equality and diversity.[1][2]
Inkluderende feminisme-initiativet |
History and focus
IFI was formed by a group of feminists in 2022 to counter growing transphobia and anti-gender populism, and to build a broad and inclusive feminist movement in Norway, that works on the basis of human rights and respect for the human dignity of everyone.
The Norwegian Extremism Commission's report in 2024 pointed out that LGBTQ+ rights are under increased pressure from extreme movements.[3] In the same year, UN Women warned about extreme anti-rights movements using hate propaganda and disinformation to target and attempt to delegitimize minority groups.[4] Norway has also been marked by anti-gender campaigns against transgender people in the 2020s.[5] Marianne Gulli, the president of FRI Oslo and Viken, stated that the Initiative for Inclusive Feminism "is important for creating a feminist community that has room for everyone."[6]
Inclusive March 8
IFI organizes Inclusive March 8 in Oslo, one of the two major Women's Day events in Oslo, in collaboration with several other feminist and queer organizations such as Sex og politikk (Planned Parenthood) and its youth organization SNU, the Norwegian Organisation for Sexual and Gender Diversity (FRI), Queer World and radiOrakel. IFI is led by Marianne Støle-Nilsen.[7][8][9][10][11] Inclusive March 8 describes itself as an event that is open to all genders and takes a stand against racism, transphobia, homophobia, fascism, and ableism.[12]
