Spectrum is a non-profit eco queer-feminist NGO (Asscoiation 1901) based in France, aiming at advancing feminist values and promoting feminism in societies. Founded in 2014 and led by Iranian diaspora activists in Europe, Spectrum has evolved to respond to the needs of Farsi/Dari-speaking communities, where LGBTQIA+ identities are either criminalized or pathologized.
As forcibly displaced in Europe activists, Spectrum has also been involved in advocacy for gender equality, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and human rights of all women andLGBTQIA+ persons at the European and international levels.
We believe in the spectrum of sex, gender and sexual orientation and work together to make the world a better and equal place for everyone on these interconnected spectrums.
In Spectrum we position ourselves in the intersection of queer-feminism, environmentalism, anti-capitalism, anti-colonialism, and anti-racism efforts for a free and equal world.
We are unapologetically intersectional-feminist, anti-racist and trans and gender-diverse inclusive.
During the years, we have been working with many local, national and international organisations. Here are some of them:
