Jimmy Carter: son dernier combat pour les droits des femmes

Depuis son départ de la Maison Blanche Jimmy Carter a embrassé plusieurs causes. Plus populaire qu'à l'époque de sa présidence, il s'est même mérité un Nobel en 2002. Il affirme aujourd'hui que la lutte pour les droits des femmes constitue son ultime combat.

 "This is going to be the highest priority for the rest of my life," he said this week.

 He's doing it at the urging of wife, Rosalynn, and for his daughter, three granddaughters and five great-granddaughters. He says he wants them to have the same opportunities and security that men do.

He's doing it for the more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram in Nigeria, for those who have become ISIS militants' sex slaves and for girls everywhere who can't go to school. He's doing it for the estimated 160 million babies aborted or killed at birth in Asia in recent decades because they were not boys. He's doing it for American college co-eds and women in the military who suffer rape and see the men responsible walk free."
