Principle 6:
Equality of Men & Women

                                        

The male and female of the
human kingdom are equal before God.
God is no respecter of gender.
Whosoever practices more faith,
whosoever practices more
humanitarianism is nearer to God;
but between the male and female there
is no innate difference because
they share in common all the faculties.

('Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahá'í Scriptures, Selections from the Utterances of Bahá'u'lláh and 'Abdu'l-Bahá p. 277)
