June 18, 2023 will mark 40 years since 10 Baha’i women were hanged in Shiraz. Their only ‘crime’ was their refusal to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality, unity, justice, and truthfulness. This collection highlights Baha’i Blog content relating to the ongoing persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
The Baha’i World News Service (BWNS), which is the official news source for the worldwide Baha’i community, has just launched their redesign and it includes some exciting new features!
For one, the site is now mobile-friendly and more accessible across different platforms. The new design also includes:
audio recordings of some of their articles,
podcast episodes featuring interviews and additional content related to certain feature stories,
a Twitter feed (follow the BWNS’s handle @bahainews),
In their recent communication sharing the news of their redesign, they write:
The BWNS aims to inform, uplift, and inspire readers by telling the stories of Baha’i communities across the planet that are contributing to meaningful social transformation for a better world, often in collaboration with like-minded individuals and groups. Our hope has been that BWNS articles will stimulate thoughtful conversations in a myriad of social spaces around the world.
