Staff Spotlight: Bahá’í Service Fellow Sees ‘Power of Women’ During Year of Service
News
July 17th, 2013Working as a paralegal at Tahirih helped me to recognize a deep strength that is inherent to women. I realized this especially working on a case with a client where I had to write out her story. Hearing from her firsthand about why she refused to be subjected to violence, including her motivation to protect her children, sincerely moved me. Many clients told me how they are educating their sons to treat women with respect. Throughout the year, I witnessed the potential and power of women and how they can influence the world if they are allowed to be a bigger part of it.
