"During a human rights forum at The Carter Center in Atlanta last week, Nobel Peace Laureate and former U.S. president Jimmy Carter delivered one of the most remarkable speeches in his political career to a group of over 60 global activists. The 39th U.S. President stated the world is at “a turning point in history” and we must chose between peace and human suffering.
During his speech, the world peacemaker not only brought attention to global violence, but also to the great violence against girls and women of which he wrote an entire book in 2014 called, A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power. He also wrote a powerful op-ed on the subject called, “Losing My Religions For Equality.” In both the book and opinion piece, Jimmy Carter blamed much of the current violence and violence against women on religious hypocrisy."
