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 endeavour will the moral and psychological climate
be created in which international peace can emerge.

of The Universal House of Justice, 1985 Oct, The

More than 2,000 Baha'is in the Northeast United States gathered in Stamford, Connecticut. The conference was in response to a call from the Universal House of Justice to gather together to celebrate the feats already achieved during the current Five Year Plan and to deliberate on its current needs.
