#Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic violence survivors and support systems turn silence into strength

In 2024, Hawaiʻi County has averaged about 15 new cases in family court every month with 13 of those involving abuse or physical violence.

Sign-wavings, vigils scheduled throughout Big Island for Domestic Violence Awareness Month

The hope of the events is to show domestic violence survivors they are not alone and that resources are available when they’re ready to leave volatile living situations.

Domestic Violence Awareness Events Planned for October

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and the the Hawai‘i State Coalition Against Domestic Violence encourages community members to come together to keep each other safe.
