| Introduction | "A commitment to educating girls is a natural result of accepting a larger vision of society offered by the Baha'i Teachings. Baha'is are convinced that humanity is poised to achieve the long sought harmonization of the practical and spiritual requirements of life on earth. Far from being at the end of evolution, humanity is really only beginning its conscious embarkation on a guided evolutionary pathway that will enable us to secure the material needs for all people, provide them with the intellectual and emotional tools to meet life's challenges, throw off the age old burden of war-fare and militarization, and address the issues of social and economic advancement, public welfare, and the need to reverse the degradation of the environment. Clearly, a foundational component of such an enterprise is the imperative need to educate women into full partnership with men, providing them with a range of opportunities to express their newfound competencies that do not undermine their unique role as mothers - the artisans of character and the builders of civilization." (Baha'i International Community) ¡viva la evolución! |
