- Just a short quote I found on the equality of women and men :
-
- "The emancipation of women, the achievement of full equality between the
- sexes, is one of the most important, though less acknowledged
- prerequisites of peace. The denial of such equality perpetrates an
- injustice against one half of the world's population and promotes in men
- harmful attitudes and habits that are carried from the family to the
- workplace, to political life, and ultimately to international relations.
- There are no grounds, moral, practical, or biological, upon which such
- denial can be justified. Only as women are welcomed into full partnership
- in all fields of human endeavor will the moral and psychological climate
- be created in which international peace can emerge."

- - From the Baha'i writings
