ABSTRACT
From the standpoint of a non-disabled feminist, the paper explores the transnational activism of disabled women. Under the light of shifting boundaries between women and frontiers among cultures and nations, the possible tensions between disability rights and feminist movements are also considered. Thus, disabled women's concerns are reviewed in the discourse of their organizations and in their achievements within the United Nations. As a result, a defensive strategy for the protection of disabled women's human rights is identified as intertwined with a proactive engagement in radical democracy practices. This strategy is considered as furthering coalitions with other oppressed groups, and therefore as an outstanding example of the potentialities of transnational human rights discourse in alliance-building.
