While the Baha’is go back to the 1950s with about a third leadership, even in 2006 60% of the countries of the world had only reached 10% (* Paxton, Pamela; Melanie M. Hughes; Sheri L. Kunovich (August 2007). “Gender in Politics”. Annual Review of Sociology 33 (1): 263–284. doi:10.1146/annurev.soc.33.040406.131651) And please note the the Baha’is are accomplishing this in the very same countries with such poor records – while at the very same time growing at twice the rate of population according to non-Baha’i sources (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_of_religion#Bah.C3.A1.27.C3.AD_Faith )

The United States women in government held great fanfare when more women had been elected in 2009 than had ever served before – at a rate half that of the Baha’is – and celebrated all the more in 2012 when a new high was reached with just two more women. (*Lowen, Linda (2010). “Record Number of Women in Congress in 2009”. Women’s Issues. about.com, 
and “Record Numbers of Women to Serve in Senate and House” (PDF) (Press release). Center for American Women and Politics. November 10, 2008)

And while the top 10 countries in the world in terms of electing women to national government measure well against the best of the Baha’i Faith they do so while using quotas. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_government#Women_in_national_parliaments) and (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_government#Quotas )

Instead of quotas Baha’is have an entirely different approach to governance and the teachings of the religion have clearly resulted in a process of changing value systems rather than imposing changes and standards the society cannot sustain otherwise.

I think this is a very significant.
