For anyone interested...

"Conversations at The Carter Center"
Live (free) Webcast Feb 9-10, 2015

Combating Violence and Discrimination
Against Women and Girls
http://www.cartercenter.org/news/upcoming_events/conversations/currenttopic.html#forum

Next session starts at 2pm.

"In February, more than 60 scholars, activists, and religious leaders from 20 countries will take part in The Carter Center's Human Rights Defenders Forum. "Beyond Violence: Women Leading for Peaceful Societies" will focus on advancing the rights of women and girls, including the right to peace."

Select forum sessions will be webcast live at www.cartercenter.org.

An evening Conversations at the Carter Center event, also will be webcast live.


"The event furthers the charge set forth in former U.S. President Jimmy Carter's recent book, "A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power." President Carter has argued that the world's discrimination and violence against women and girls is the most serious, pervasive, and ignored violation of basic human rights. One in three women will face sexual or gender-based violence in her lifetime, yet women are not fully included in leadership positions that can influence legislation to reduce such violence. War has a tremendous impact on women and girls, yet they are not adequately included in political processes that can prevent and end conflict. Religion is often used to justify unequal treatment of women, but women's voices are muted when men dominate leadership of religious and traditional institutions. The forum seeks ways to remedy these inequities."
