| Over a century
ago, for the first time in religious history, Bahá’u’lláh,
the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith, in announcing God's purpose
for the age, proclaimed the principle of the equality of women and men,
saying: “Women and men have been and will always be equal in the sight
of God.” The establishment of equal rights and privileges for
women and men, Bahá’u’lláh says, is a precondition for the
attainment of a wider unity that will ensure the well-being and security
of all peoples. The Bahá’í Writings state emphatically
that “When all mankind shall receive the same opportunity of education
and the equality of men and women be realized, the foundations of war will
be utterly destroyed.”
