We are a feminist organisation. We fight against patriarchy and for equality of all genders. We reject the gender binary and recognise that there are more than two genders. We do not accept that women and non-binary gendered people still face discrimination on a day-to-day basis in all societies. Therefore we educate for equal rights and awareness of gender stereotypes, discrimination and privileges and we use affirmative action and tools such as the gender quota in our organisations.

In 2014, the IFM-SEI Presidium launched our gender equality campaign, to raise awareness that also within our own movement there is still a lot to do to really achieve equality between all genders. We ran a photo campaign on social media to raise awareness of gender equality, published a handbook with educational resources on gender equality, and adopted a motion on gender equality inside our member organisations at the International Committee Meeting 2015.
