Irish Feminist Network's Mission, Vision and Values
Mission
The Irish Feminist Network is an organisation committed to promoting gender equality in Ireland. We seek to make feminism relevant to a new generation of people, while continuing to engage all members of Irish society in working for change.
Vision
The Irish Feminist Network’s vision is of an Ireland, and of a world, which prizes gender equality, and which allows individuals to live free from gendered injustices and oppression.
Values
Feminist Ethos: We wish to undertake all our work from an explicitly feminist perspective. While mindful of the complexity and multiplicity of feminisms, we purposefully embrace the term ‘feminism’ and invite others to follow us in doing so.
Equality: We wish to advance equality in all spheres of Irish society. As different types of inequality overlap and reinforce each other, we recognise the importance of working toward the elimination of inequalities that are not just based on gender, but also on class, racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, and other markers of difference.
Inclusiveness: We wish to protect and promote the interests of all of our members, and we respect the diversity of all who join us in opposing gender inequality.
Solidarity: We wish to work toward increased gender equality in Ireland by forging alliances with other social justice groups, community groups, NGOs and movements with whom we share similar values and priorities. Such alliance-building will also extend across national boundaries and will encompass the whole island of Ireland.
Progressiveness: We wish to form a focal point for feminists of all gender identities who seek the introduction of positive and progressive measures for the achievement of gender equality both in Ireland and abroad.
