A number of Baha'i schools and institutions of higher learning have identified specific moral capabilities which help equip children and youths to detest domestic violence.

A statement from the national office of the Baha'i international community said youths need to develop skills of moral reasoning and assume responsibility of contributing to the betterment of their communities. The Baha'i is an activist religious and political fraternity which campaigns for universal values in all nations. Said the statement:
"The basis for such curricula is the belief that every person is a spiritual being with a limitless potential for noble action."

"An exploitative economic order, fuelling the extremes of wealth and poverty, has pushed millions of women into positions of economic slavery and denied their rights to property, inheritance, physical security and equal participation in productive enterprises," the fraternity emphasized. It said while values of equality could be taught in schools, "it is the family environment in which the children grow and form views about themselves, the world and the purpose of life. "To the degree that a family fails to meet the fundamental needs of the children, to that same degree will the society be burdened with the consequences of neglect and abuse, and will suffer greatly from the resulting conditions of apathy and violence," the statement cautioned.
