Equality of the Sexes

"Two Wings of a Bird" is a statement by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United States. The Bahá'í vision of equality between the sexes rests on the central spiritual principle of the oneness of humankind.

"In reality, God has created all mankind, and in the estimation of God there is no distinction as to male and female. The one whose heart is pure is acceptable in His sight, be that one man or woman. God does not inquire, 'Art thou woman or art thou man?' He judges human actions.
