This article examines whether the international “women’s rights as human rights” movement has influenced the field of domestic violence in the United States and the possible barriers to redefining domestic violence as a violation of human rights. The qualitative study that is presented was based on semistructured interviews with key individuals throughout the United States who work in national organizations on issues of domestic violence and/or human rights. The findings focus on the manner in which power situated within the state would result in significant barriers to reframing domestic violence related to themes of resonance, U.S. exceptionalism, funding, and the criminal justice system.
