Founded in 2000, Sveriges Förenade HBTQIA+-studenter (The Swedish Federation of LGBTQIA+ Student Organisations) is a national federation for LGBTQIA+ student branches throughout Sweden. SFQ is a queer feminist organisation believing in an intersectional approach to work against discriminatory structures.
As of 2009, SFQ includes 18 branches, and the number of individual members in the federation amounts to more than 1000, spread all over Sweden.

To achieve these goals, SFQ works through five distinct strategies: environment, quality in education, research, international cooperation and legislation. SFQ works on the premise that it is only through commitment and purposeful work of all of these five strategies that they can achieve their purpose.
