In the present article we analyze, from the performance of the international human rights
protection systems, the extent of the State's responsibility in facing the violence committed
against women. The purpose of the article is to verify how the global and inter-american
human rights protection system has understood the state's role in situations of domestic and
family violence. A feminist methodology based on the perspective of transformation of the
institutions is realized, recognizing limits and also presenting potentialities in the defense
and promotion of women's rights. The research is bibliographic and documentary, being
analyzed the international and national documents of recognition of the rights of women and
decisions of the Inter-American Court of human rights on the subject.
