===Sexual and gender diversity===
The IAW family belongs to the [[liberal feminism|mainstream or liberal women's rights tradition]] and thus shares the [[liberal feminism#LGBT rights|mainstream feminist position on LGBT+ rights]], which understands sexual and gender diversity as an essential aspect of women's [[human rights]] and [[gender equality]] in a modern and [[democracy|democratic]] society. The entire mainstream women's rights movement stands firmly against all forms of [[transphobia]], [[homophobia]], and [[racism]], and these principles are part of the bedrock of the movement's values, and viewed as non-negotiable and essential in all efforts for equality. Speaking on trans inclusion, former IAW President [[Marion Böker]] said that for the women's rights movement, it is necessary to work on the basis of [[human rights]], which are universal and indivisible, defend [[democracy|democratic]] values, and fight for an inclusive women's movement, and warned against anti-democratic forces and forces on the far right that try to pit women's rights against the human rights of minorities, describing anti-trans activists as "right-wing and racist."<ref name=Boeker2023/> Böker's remarks align with a statement from [[UN Women]] that emphasized that "working for LGBTIQ+ people’s human rights is indivisible from working for women’s rights and gender equality," that those who promote "the human rights of women and LGBTIQ+ people share the same goals of achieving safe and fair societies" and that condemned extremist hate movements such as "[[anti-gender]]" and "[[gender-critical]]" movements.<ref name=unwomen2024>{{cite web |access-date=2024-06-15 |publisher=[[UN Women]] |title=LGBTIQ+ communities and the anti-rights pushback: 5 things to know |url=https://www.unwomen.org/en/news-stories/explainer/2024/05/lgbtiq-communities-and-the-anti-rights-pushback-5-things-to-know}}<!-- auto-translated from Danish by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> The mainstream feminist movement's contemporary emphasis on an intersectional understanding of women's rights and gender equality is in line with developments in international human rights law as they relate to women's human rights.
In line with this, IAW affiliates such as [[Deutscher Frauenring]] advocate for trans-inclusive feminism<ref>{{cite web|url =https://deutscher-frauenring.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/PM_Transgender_Day_of_Remembrance_2021.pdf |title =Transgender Day of Remembrance – Internationaler Gedenktag für die Opfer von transfeindlicher Gewalt |publisher =[[Deutscher Frauenring]] |date =2021-11-20 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20220119091241/https://deutscher-frauenring.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/PM_Transgender_Day_of_Remembrance_2021.pdf|archivedate=2022-01-19}}</ref> and emphasize that far-right movements that undermine the human rights of minorities threaten democracy.<ref>{{cite web |access-date=2024-06-02 |publisher=[[Deutscher Frauenring]] |title=„Demokratie unter Druck – Stärkung der feministischen Perspektive für eine gerechte und inklusive Gesellschaft“ |url=https://deutscher-frauenring.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/neue-Einladung-18.09.pdf}}<!-- auto-translated from Danish by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> In 2021 IAW and its affiliate, the [[Icelandic Women's Rights Association]] (IWRA), co-organized a [[United Nations Commission on the Status of Women|CSW]] forum on how the women's rights movement can counter "anti-trans voices [that] are becoming ever louder and [that] are threatening feminist solidarity across borders," where IAW's 16th President [[Marion Böker]] discussed her trans-inclusive position.<ref name=boeker>{{cite web |title=Transfeminism and the Women's Movement |date=15 March 2021 |url=https://kvenrettindafelag.is/en/transfeminism-and-the-womens-movement/ |publisher=[[Icelandic Women's Rights Association]] |access-date=26 November 2021}}</ref> IWRA has stated that "IWRA works for the rights of ''all'' women – feminism without trans women is no feminism at all (...) we have a lot of work to do to create an inclusive, vibrant and diverse feminist movement in Europe."<ref>{{cite web |title=IWRA works for the rights of ALL women.
