Despite the advances made by women's rights in the last quarter century, discrimination and violence of all kinds continues to afflict the female population of the world, stealing their human rights and depriving humanity of its potential. In A Call to Action, former President Jimmy Carter lays out the plight women and girls encounter around the world today, and provides startling examples of this oppression. World leaders have used excuses such as religious texts and strict interpretations of gender norms to repress and exploit their female population. Possible solutions are presented, but it will not be until societies around the globe change their view and recognize women's vital roles that things will get better.
