The Feminist Party (Finnish: Feministinen puolue, Swedish: Feministiska partiet) is a Finnish feminist political party. It was founded in June 2016,[3] and registered as a political party in January 2017.[4] It calls gender equality, human rights, and human security the primary pillars of its politics.[5]
