In the highly acclaimed bestselling A Call to Action, President Jimmy Carter addresses the world’s most serious, pervasive, and ignored violation of basic human rights: the ongoing discrimination and violence against women and girls.

President Carter was encouraged to write this book by a wide coalition of leaders of all faiths. His urgent report covers a system of discrimination that extends to every nation. Women are deprived of equal opportunity in wealthier nations and “owned” by men in others, forced to suffer servitude, child marriage, and genital cutting. The most vulnerable and their children are trapped in war and violence.

A Call to Action addresses the suffering inflicted upon women by a false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare. Key verses are often omitted or quoted out of context by male religious leaders to exalt the status of men and exclude women. And in nations that accept or even glorify violence, this perceived inequality becomes the basis for abuse.

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, more than half of all human beings, are being denied equal rights. This is an informed and passionate charge about a devastating effect on economic prosperity and unconscionable human suffering. It affects us all.

Pressestimmen

“A tour de force of the global abuse and manipulation of women, including statistics that will stun most readers with details that cannot be ignored…The scope of the material is astounding…Mr. Carter's A Call to Action should not only be required reading in America, but should also serve as the template for a complete reinterpretation of the religious views behind our treatment of each other, to discover what he claims is the true meaning behind the miracle of creation.” ― Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“A Call to Action reinforces [Carter’s] dedication to wiping out injustice—and his ability to move others to join his cause.” ― St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“When reading A Call to Action, I got the sense that this is a man who has spent nine decades advocating for women and will continue to do so until his last breath. He is a man on a mission, listing 23 challenges he and The Carter Center are determined to work on for the betterment of women. He demonstrates how he used his influence throughout his lifetime to push women’s rights forward . . . Carter’s book overwhelms as well as inspires.” ― Huffington Post

“Women’s studies scholars and readers interested in international human rights may find these accounts of discrimination and abuse disturbing but should be challenged to respond to Carter’s call for action.” ― Library Journal

“A Call to Action ends with a list of recommendations to ameliorate the condition of women and girls worldwide, such as having more women in higher public office and involving religious scholars to give a more forward-looking interpretation to their faiths. It is this commitment to a progressive religious outlook that makes Carter almost a lone voice in U.S. politics.” ― Progressive.org

“[Carter] wrote his book with deep knowledge, insight and compassion…Indeed, it is time to wake up.” ― Morning Call (PA)

“A Call to Action enhances [Carter’s] role as elder statesman and human rights warrior by focusing entirely on the enslavement, degradation, and torture that women endure around the world. . . . an important book that should serve as a reference guide and instructional manual for dealing with the atrocities against women.” ― The Daily Beast

President Carter has done an important service to women worldwide in writing this book. Alas, he's somewhat preaching to the choir because in many countries where these crimes against women are being perpetrated, those doing the damage will never read a book like this. However, we live in hope.

Frauen, Frieden! Aber Religion?

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 16. März 2020

Verifizierter Kauf

Es ist ein großes Verdienst von Jimmy Carter, dass er als Mann die Wichtigkeit von Frauen für eine friedliche Gesellschaft betont. Dass jedoch Religion als Friedensfaktor ziemlich zweifelhaft ist, sollten gerade die Amerikaner erkennen, die, obwohl sich so viele dort als religiös bezeichnen eine gewalttätige Nation sind (siehe etwa: schlechter Platz im Global Peace Index, die noch immer erlaubte Körperstrafe bei Kindern - sogar in vielen Schulen mit einem Holzbrett (paddling) im Namen der Bibel - spare the rod, spoil the child, Todesstrafe, Waffengewalt ..). Also nur drei Sterne ...

An excellent and revealing read- Carter is extremely knowledgeable and sincere in his approach to this topic. It is an inspiration and certainly brings into the light many injustices and the need for social change in regard to women.

Very impressive, a most important book, long overdue.

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 4. August 2014

Verifizierter Kauf

I decided to purchase a copy of this book after witnessing former President Jimmy Carter interviewed recently on Jon Stewart's DAILY SHOW. As a practicing Catholic, believer in Jesus Christ and a former social work educator on the subject of domestic violence prevention, I have often wondered why the Bible (particularly the Old Testament) does not really address the historical abuse of women. Instead as our author writes "some selected scriptures, are interpreted almost exclusively by powerful male leaders within the Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Budhist, and other faiths, to proclaim the lower status of women and girls. This claim that women are inferior before God spreads to the secular world to justify gross and sustained acts of discrimination and violence against them. This includes unpunished rape and other sexual abuse, infanticide of newborn girls and abortion of female fetuses, a worldwide trafficking in women and girls, and so-called honor killings of innocent women who are raped, as well as the less violent but harmful practices of lower pay and promotion for women and greater political advantages for men." HOW RIGHT YOU ARE former President Jimmy Carter. Alas but your words are not new. I once heard this years ago in a Minority Relations class I took in high school where I brought a speaker from the National Organization of Women to present before our class. It has been 42 years since this speaker gave this talk but I never forgot it. She was a woman, of course, concerned for the future of her own gender. This is the FIRST time I have read a book written by a man concerned for the future of women in our world.

I often tell people that although I am NOT a religious fundamentalist, DO NOT believe that every word in the Bible was written for people of ALL time, I DO believe that Jesus Christ in coming to spread the Word in bringing a "new" testament became (and still is) a a Super Star for ALL women. That is why I was so delighted when former President Carter wrote in Chapter 3 The Bible and Gender Equality of this book "Jesus Christ was the greatest liberator of women in a society where they had been considered throughout biblical history to be inferior. Even wives and widows of prominent and revered men had few legal rights. It is well known to those familiar with the Bible that, to enhance his own well-being the patriarch Abraham, gave away his wife, Sarah, to live in the harem of the pharaoh of Egypt and later attempted to give her away to the heathen king Abimelech, claiming both times that she was not his wife but his sister. Men could possess multiple wives (King Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred concumbines), but a woman could be punished by stoning to death if she had more than one sex partner.There is one incontrovertible fact concerning the relationship between Jesus Christ and women:he treated them as equal to men, which was dramatically different from the prevailing custom of the times....never...any instance of Jesus' condoning sexual discrimination or the implied subservience or inferiority of women....Matthew even includes four gentile women (all of whom had extramarital affairs) among the ancestors of Christ: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba. The exaltation and later devotion to Mary, as Jesus' mother, is a vivid indication of the special status of women in Christian theology....Despite the strict prohobition against a Jewish man dealing with women in public, Jesus had no hesitancy about conversing the community well with a Samaritan woman who was a pariah both among Jews and her peers because of her ethnicity and lascivicous behavior. She accepted him as the promised Messiah and took his message back to her village--the first example of an evagelical witness. Jesus also rejected the double standard of punishment for adultery, by granting both a pardon and forgiveness to a guilty and condemned woman." I WILL NEVER FORGET the impression I had of Jesus as he was portrayed in the 1960's classic KING OF KINGS--the part where he turned to the crowds, breaking with convention, and stated firmly "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." These are words that have resonated with many women for hundreds of years, continue to do so now and WILL always have that effect. I just thank the author of this book, President Jimmy Carter, for reminding me exactly why I have ALWAYS thought that Jesus Christ was my personal Super Star!
The book, as a whole, consists of eighteen chapters including chapters on Sexual Abuse and Rape, Women and the Carter Center, Slavery and Prostitution, Spouse Abuse, 'Honor' Killing, Genital Cutting, Child Marriage and Dowry Deaths, Politics, Pay and Maternal Health and the Road to Progress. There is much in the book about the testimony of a number of religious leaders, scholars and activists former President Carter brought together in June of 2013 for the purpose of working together "to align religious and political life with full equality for girls and women." The book is EXTREMELY well done and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. Thank you, so much, former President Jimmy Carter for finally writing SUCH an important book. God bless you and yours.

Ultimately encouraging and very sobering

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 20. Juli 2014

Verifizierter Kauf

I've always admired Jimmy Carter without knowing much about him. What is great about this book, is that it is a true call to action. He doesn't just babble about Christian principles. He lives them as he understands them. I am an ardent humanist and have no problem with Carter's Christianity. He dares to go against powerful forces that would keep women down forever, disallow birth control or any decent, humanistic medical practice regarding human sexuality. It was so powerful, and so upsetting, that I was depressed for a few days after reading it. On the other hand, he and his working partners have saved the lives of countless people and helped to make life worth living for them. He also turns a very bright light on anti-progressive forces at work in America against women's rights as employees and as sexual beings apart from conventional stereotypes; and on the violence that they suffer in their work and family lives in the western world. I hope this encourages you to choose to read this book and to be more certain in your progressive attitudes and to become more active in promoting progressive social policies.
