This paper will analyze the divergence of domestic and international policies by women's organizations with respect to addressing women's concerns from the perspective of women's human rights. Specifically, I seek to answer two questions: (1) why domestic women's advocacy organizations in the United States often eschew international human rights discourse in their advocacy efforts and (2) why these groups tend to focus only on domestic issues and rarely pursue any sort of connection or dialogue with international women's organizations. Through a series of interviews with the leadership of several domestic women's organizations in the United States, I examine the purpose, focus, and success of their programs in this context. Ultimately, I argue that domestic women's organizations in the United States should adopt a transnational women's human rights approach in their domestic advocacy efforts in order to improve women's lives at home and abroad.
