Eleanor Roosevelt once said that States must look inward because “human rights begin‘in the small places, close to home…the neighborhood, the school or college, the factory, farm or office…..Unless these rights have meaning here, they have little meaning anywhere.’” (Julie Peters and Andrea Wolper, Eds., Lori L. Heise, “Freedom Close to Home: The Impact of Violence Against Women on Reproductive Rights,” in Women’s Rights/Human Rights: International Feminist Perspectives (New York: Routledge, 1995) 239)
