Jimmy Carter’s post-presidency has been filled with numerous achievements culminating in the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.
He joins HuffPost Live in-studio to discuss his latest book, “A Call To Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power.”
According to the Carter Center:
The book builds on the work of faith leaders and courageous human rights defenders who met last summer at The Carter Center to mobilize faith groups worldwide to commit to advancing women’s rights. Religion, they said, should be a force for equality and human dignity not oppression.
Noting that “people’s actions are guided by international agreements as well as their own moral values, most often derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Bible, the Koran,” Carter argues in the book that “it is not possible to address the rights of women, the human and civil rights struggle of our time, without looking at factors that create an acceptance of violence in our society — violence that inevitably affects women disproportionately.”
