There are many organizations that have devoted themselves to
protesting against human rights violations, and in many instances individual
Bahá’ís are among those supporting such organizations. Given the relatively
small size of the Bahá’í community throughout the world, and the fact that in a
great many places the Bahá’ís are themselves not yet fully knowledgeable of the
Teachings, it is not possible at this stage for them to assail all the evils
afflicting humanity, but must, of necessity, take the time to internalize the
principles of the Faith and expand its numbers to a degree that it can
influence a profound change in the behavior of world society.
