HIV/AIDS & Gender Equality: Transforming Attitudes and Behaviors
May 31, 2001
The statement "HIV/AIDS & Gender Equality: Transforming Attitudes and Behaviors" outlines the Bahá'í perspective on critical
issues surrounding the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Gender
inequality, stigma, and the role of faith communities in
mitigating both of these are the main focus. The Bahá'í
view is that as interaction between people of different
faiths and cultures increases, the traditions and practices
that discriminate against women will gradually give way; only spiritual transformation can fundamentally reduce negative behaviors that contribute to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
