Description
A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power by Jimmy Carter The world's most serious and pervasive human rights violation is the ongoing discrimination and violence against women and girls. This urgent report, written by President Jimmy Carter, addresses a system of inequality that affects every nation. Women are denied equal opportunity, forced into servitude, child marriage, and genital cutting, and are trapped in war and violence. President Carter draws upon his own experiences and the testimony of courageous women from all regions and all major religions to demonstrate that women around the world are being denied equal rights. He argues that a false interpretation of religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare are the root causes of this suffering. This book is an informed and passionate charge about the devastating effect on economic prosperity and unconscionable human suffering. A Call to Action is a call to action to address the suffering inflicted upon women by a false interpretation of religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare. It is a powerful and necessary report that affects us all.
