Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights

The Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Rights (, formerly ) is a Swedish organization working for LGBT rights and has historically advocated for pedophilia.

It was founded in 1950, which makes it one of the oldest LGBT rights organizations in the world. As of 2018, it had about 7,000 members and has 36 regional offices spread over the country.

In 1983 they sent a petition to the Swedish government demanding the legalization of pedophilia and in 1993 the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter uncovered that RFSL published a guide to child prostitution abroad.

RFSL was a major lobbyist for same-sex marriage, a goal that was reached in April 2009 after 50 years of working with that specific issue.

In July 2007, RFSL received consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
