Violence against women is the most serious, pervasive, and ignored violation of basic human rights around the world.
Dear Good,
Violence against women is the most serious, pervasive, and ignored violation of basic human rights around the world. With the support of generous donors like you, The Carter Center has begun to tackle this important issue and has made significant progress establishing in-person and online networks of faith leaders, activists, and political leaders — people armed with culturally appropriate and immediately actionable solutions for ending the abuses against women and girls.
But right now, I want you to know about an even farther-reaching motive for supporting this work. The reason I am asking for your help today is that these same women whom we are fighting for are also the world’s greatest untapped resource for preventing violent conflict and promoting peace.
“When you give women rights, especially rights to an education, and you educate a girl, you educate the whole society.”
Ruth Mumbi’s access to education in Nairobi, Kenya, was the springboard to her lifelong commitment to ending human rights violations.

For every woman you help save from the abuses of genital mutilation, child marriage, and human trafficking, you give the world a new chance for peace. You can help women rise to challenge the notions that war, violence and subjugation are “normal” practices. With new opportunities for equal treatment and education, girls can — and do — grow up to be peacemakers and promoters of human rights.
Please, Good, will you give a gift now to lift women up to the equal status they deserve? I believe women are the linchpin to achieving peace in the world, and you are the person they need to change their circumstances and participate fully in society.
Thank you for helping to promote equal opportunities and end the needless suffering of women and girls. Your gift now can help make the world better for everyone, everywhere.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Carter
Co-Founder and Trustee
