Political positioning

Iveković holds that the inequality of the sexes (Inégalité des sexes) and other

inclusions (e.g. through discrimination by gender, national citizenship, ethnicity, colonization) leads to a fatal partitioning of reason ("Le partage de la raison"). On the war events on the territory of Yugoslavia she takes an explicitly anti-patriarchal, anti-racist and non-nationalist stance.[citation needed
]

In 1997 Iveković published a study on gender/sex in philosophy, taking issue with Jean-François Lyotard.

In 2017, Iveković has signed the Declaration on the Common Language of the Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks and Montenegrins.[1]
