“IntroductionOn Dec. 10, 1948, the U.N. General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), proclaiming inalienable rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled, regardless of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. The Carter Center hails this year’s 70th anniversary of the UDHR as an opportunity for all to reaffirm the universal values and enduring principles enshrined in the UDHR.The Carter Center works to support former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s long commitment to human rights, particularly the rights of women and girls. In his 2014 book, A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power, President Carter articulates many of his proposals, including the engagement of religious leaders in this work, because, as he argues, the disproportionate violence, poverty, and discrimination that women and girls around the world face is often caused by “the false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare.”--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support
