Can humanity truly reach its full potential without all of its members
being free to reach and contribute their all? Can humanity truly reach
its full potential without all of its members being free to reach and
contribute their all? Is equality a tug of war where one side gains at
another’s expense? Does empowering women require taking
opportunities away from men, or does it actually strengthen the whole
and create more opportunities and a better world for everyone?
If a bird has one broken wing, it isn’t able to fly or live a full
and healthy life. Could this same thinking apply to the balance of men
and women? The two wings of a bird do not fight for power, strength or
dominance. Both wings need to be of equal strength for the bird to
soar. Can humanity truly advance if women do not enjoy the same
rights, prerogatives and opportunities as men? How can we work to
ensure that we are building communities where everyone has the same
opportunities to grow and develop and to contribute to the advancement
of humanity together?
Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every
perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we
discuss the spiritual perspective offered by the Bahá’i Teachings
on the essential equality of the sexes. Join us for a lively
discussion as we explore how achieving that equality is needed for all
of humanity to progress and reach its full potential.
“The world of humanity has two wings – one is women and the other
men. Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly.
Should one wing remain weak, flight is impossible. ” – Bahá’i
