(Maui)– The County of Maui Committee on the Status of Women announced it is hosting its 3rd Annual Domestic Violence Awareness Fair on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2016 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Queen Kaahumanu Center.
The event is open to the public and is designed to provide information about domestic violence, as well as the support and resources available to our community. Participating organizations include Women Helping Women, PACT (Parents And Children Together), Child & Family Services, the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney – Victim Witness Program, and Maui Police Department’s Domestic Violence Unit.
“It’s up to us as a community to help stop the madness of domestic violence,” said Sheila Kelley, Vice-Chair of the Committee on the Status of Women. “Our hope is that this event can offer hope and healing to anyone needing help in saying ‘No More’ to an abusive situation. We all need to be educated about the impacts as well as the resources that are available, because in truth, domestic violence affects all of our lives.”
