N2  - This article focuses on the experiences of intimate partner violence of intranational migrants in Lima, Peru and international undocumented Mexican immigrants in Austin, Texas. Employing a feminist and ecological approach, I explore both ways in which the experiences of women in each setting differ as well as commonalities in cultural beliefs in women's lives across borders. I suggest that an analysis of the role of familism, hegemonic masculinity, and self-sacrificing femininity as hegemonic and transnational values that inform Mexican and Peruvian women's lives contributes to a richer understanding of domestic violence among Latin American women.<p />
