In the past 20 years, feminist non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have increasingly engaged in transnational legal activism in the Americas not only to seek individual remedies for victims/survivors of abuses of women’s human rights, but also to pressure states to make legal and policy changes, to promote human rights cultures and to strengthen the demands of women’s movements. Yet the scholarship on transnational feminist activism overlooks transnational litigation practices. Studies of transnational legal mobilization tend to ignore the relationship between human rights and feminist advocacy networks, or between NGOs and the victims whose knowledge and experience serve as the basis for transnational litigation practices. This article draws from research on transnational legal activism over cases of women’s human rights presented to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights against Brazil. It builds on the ‘epistemologies of the South’ framework to examine how human rights NGOs that specialize in transnational litigation, feminist advocacy NGOs, grassroots feminist organizations and victims/survivors (or family victims) of intimate (partner) violence against women engage in transnational legal activism, negotiate power relations, and exchange their knowledges/visions on human rights and justice. The legalistic view on human rights held by the more professionalized NGOs tends to prevail over grassroots feminist organizations’ and survivors’ perspectives on human rights and justice. To promote global justice, human rights activism must include epistemic justice and must legitimate all types of knowledge produced by all the actors involved.

动员妇女的人权：什么/谁的知识对跨国法律动员很重要？

在过去的 20 年中，女权主义非政府组织 (NGO) 越来越多地在美洲参与跨国法律行动，不仅为侵犯妇女人权的受害者/幸存者寻求个人补救，而且还向各国施压，使其合法化和合法化。政策变化、促进人权文化和加强妇女运动的要求。然而，关于跨国女权主义激进主义的学术研究忽视了跨国诉讼实践。跨国法律动员研究往往忽视人权与女权倡导网络之间的关系，或非政府组织与受害者之间的关系，受害者的知识和经验作为跨国诉讼实践的基础。本文取材于提交给美洲人权委员会反对巴西的妇女人权案例中的跨国法律行动研究。它建立在“南方认识论”框架的基础上，研究专门从事跨国诉讼的人权非政府组织、女权倡导非政府组织、草根女权组织和亲密（伴侣）暴力侵害妇女行为的受害者/幸存者（或家庭受害者）如何参与跨国诉讼。法律激进主义，谈判权力关系，并交流他们对人权和正义的知识/愿景。更加专业化的非政府组织所持有的法律主义的人权观点往往压倒草根女权组织和幸存者对人权和正义的看法。为促进全球正义，
