Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence

The HSCADV believes that violence against women and children results from the use of force or threat to achieve and maintain control over others in intimate relationships. We also believe that societal abuse of power and domination in the forms of sexism, racism, heterosexism, classism, anti-semitism, able-bodyism, ageism, and other oppressions foster battering by perpetuating conditions which condone violence against women and children. Please contact 832-9316.
