Equality before God
From the beginning Friends gave women and men equal status, for the fact that we are all children of God bestowed an equality upon all. This concept led to the testimony that one person should not set himself above others through human honors and distinctions which were meaningless in the sight of God. From this came the Quaker practices of simple living, plain dress and plain speech.
Quakers have been instrumental in fighting for racial equality, women's rights, equal rights for gay and lesbian and transgendered people, and anywhere there is injustice and discrimination.
