The International Naturist Federation (INF) is a global organization that promotes naturism, which is a lifestyle that encourages nudity in a natural environment. Founded in 1953, the INF aims to foster understanding and acceptance of naturism as a way to enhance personal freedom and respect for nature. It connects various national naturist organizations and supports events and activities that align with naturist principles. The INF also advocates for the rights of naturists and works to create safe spaces for naturist activities worldwide. By organizing international gatherings and promoting education about naturism, the INF seeks to build a community that values body positivity and environmental awareness.
