Using the critique and experiences of women of color as a focal point, data were gathered through interviews with key individuals working with national and regional DV and human rights organizations. This article focuses on challenges within the mainstream DV movement and how a human rights approach could potentially ameliorate some of these concerns by supporting a more holistic approach to DV and increasing coalition building and community engagement. ]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:40:33 PDT info:doi/10.1177/1077801209347749 2009-10-22 Article
