Unlock the Path to True Equality

Rooted in the conviction that all people are "mines rich in gems of inestimable value," the Bahá’í Faith asserts that gender equality is not merely an ideal, but a necessary condition for peace and prosperity. This collection gathers the Baháʼí International Community’s (BIC) substantive contributions to the UN over 30 years—from the Beijing Declaration to the present.

Drawing on the grassroots experience of Bahá’í communities in over 100,000 localities worldwide, this book offers a unique lens on translating equality into action. Discover emerging social norms, new patterns of consultation, and the vital, non-oppositional role of men and boys in achieving a "full partnership."

Explore statements organised around the 12 critical areas of the Beijing Platform for Action. See how lived experience across diverse cultures is forging a just, inclusive, and flourishing society for all.

In Full Partnership is intended as a resource as well as an invitation for collective action and consultation on practical steps that could lead to lasting gender equality and justice.
