Feminist Transnational Activism Around Gender-Based Violence and Labor in North America: Limits and Opportunities
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the challenges and possibilities for feminist transnational activism in North America since the mid-1990s. There appear to be two trajectories for such activism. The first trajectory is related to socioeconomic justice issues and has been dominated by bilateral transborder organizing (following the hub-and-spoke model), focusing in particular on the poor conditions in the maquiladora sector. In contrast, feminist transnational activism around gender-based violence (GBV) and femicides followed a second trajectory, as the NAFTA agreement did not provide openings for raising these issues, and the three governments initially addressed GBV/femicide issues as domestic concerns and did not place them on a regional policy agenda. They used the Inter-American Human Rights regime and the United Nations to pursue their transnational activism. Recent events suggest, however, that these GBV/femicide issues are now being “de-domesticated” and can be addressed in a regional context.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
