Initiative for Inclusive Feminism

The Initiative for Inclusive Feminism (Norwegian: Inkluderende feminisme-initiativet; IFI), often called simply Inclusive Feminism (Norwegian: Inkluderende feminisme), is a Norwegian intersectional feminist and human rights organization, and Norway's main intersectional feminist organization. It stands for a "compassionate feminism with room for everyone." It grew out of a national network of feminists who called for a feminism grounded in human rights, solidarity, and inclusion, and who sought to build a broad, intersectional movement rooted in the universality and indivisibility of human rights. IFI promotes an understanding of feminism as a democratic and universal human rights project that opposes all forms of exclusion and discrimination.

The organization originated in the Call for Inclusive Feminism of 2020, a broad cross-party appeal signed by 2,476 feminists from across Norway, including equality ministers Anette Trettebergstuen and Lubna Jaffery, along with numerous politicians, scholars, and activists. The call set out a vision of trans-inclusive feminism based on human rights and solidarity. It led to the creation of the Inclusive Feminism Network, which became one of the country's largest feminist communities and formally established IFI in 2022. Since then, IFI has coordinated Inclusive March 8 in Oslo together with Amnesty International and other partners, positioning itself at the centre of Norway's third- and fourth-wave feminism and a generational renewal of the feminist movement. Inclusive March 8 is one of the capital's two major International Women's Day events and is usually held at Eidsvolls plass outside the Norwegian Parliament.

IFI draws particular support from younger feminists of the millennial and Generation Z cohorts and has members of all genders. It describes itself as a response to "a broader national and global assault on vulnerable minorities closely connected to wider threats to liberal democracy and to fascist movements in our time." IFI understands feminism as a movement grounded in human rights, solidarity, and intersectionality, reflecting a broad global feminist consensus in contemporary activism, scholarship, and policy. It positions itself as the Norwegian institutional expression of this consensus, working to strengthen an inclusive feminist movement and to uphold this understanding as central to what feminism represents today. In this sense, IFI represents the continuity of feminism as a modern human-rights-based, inclusive social movement. In 2025 IFI took the initiative for the consensus statement "No feminism without trans people: We stand together for an inclusive feminism," which 25 feminist organizations and academic communities endorsed.
