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 short video, produced by the Australian Baha’i Community, shares how Clara and John Henry Hyde Dunn arrived onto Australian shores on 10 April, 1920 and were the first Baha’is in the country. They spoke about and demonstrated the principles of the Baha’i Faith with all they met. The Dunns are like the seeds of an enduring legacy, not only for the Australian Baha’i Community, but for all of Australia and Australian society.
