Notes:	Over the past 15-20 years there has been a dramatic increase in transnational social movements including the movement to eradicate violence against women. This paper examines the development of the transnational women’s movement and the prioritizing of violence against women (VAW) as a universal women’s agenda using the United Nations (U.N.) human rights conferences as a focal point. As one form of VAW, domestic violence (DV) has been placed into the human rights context by many work in light of social work’s role in the critical analysis of framing of social problems and the emergent movement in the United States for social work to become more internationally-focused.
