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.
This music video for Klare KuOlga’s song “Flowers of One Garden” promotes the universal principal of the oneness of humanity. It was filmed at the Boulders near the township of Babinda, North Queensland, Australia. This project began with an Indigenous Elder of the region, Annie Wonga, who is seen in the opening scene of the video.
Originally from the highlands of Papua New Guinea, Klare KuOlga brings a unique sound and experience through her music by drawing on her traditional roots, combined with elements of Jazz, RnB, World and Soul music genres.

Her skills range from being a musical director, professional performer, singer/songwriter, and arts educator, and she’s currently based in Australia.
