A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power is a 2014 book by former US president Jimmy Carter. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reviewed the book as "a tour de force of the global abuse and manipulation of women" and commended Carter's presentation of statistical data.[1]
Carter calls discrimination and abuse of women and girls "the most serious and unaddressed worldwide challenge" of our time, and the book covers a wide range of problems including infanticide and selective abortion of female fetuses; female genital mutilation; rape, especially as a weapon of war; human trafficking of women and girls; and social discrimination, including in the United States.[2]
