50th ABS Annual Conference

This presentation explores how core Bahá'í principles—the nobility of the individual, justice, equality of the sexes, chastity as spiritual empowerment, consultation and non-judgement—can inform compassionate, evidence-based, high-quality sexual health conversations, education, and clinical care. In our hypersexualized materialistic society, it has become necessary to shed light on these issues of sexuality, currently shrouded in shame and judgment. Drawing on our clinical and educational experiences, Bahá'í materials, and scientific evidence, we aim to discuss how we might bridge the gap between the light of Bahá’u’lláh’s Revelation and our current society’s practices.
