Call Directions Website Contact the organization

The YWCA of Kaua'i is a leader on issues of women's empowerment and the elimination of racism on Kaua'i.

In addition to being a passionate advocate for these issues that are integral to the mission of the National YWCA organization, the YWCA of Kaua'i has also crafted a local mission specific to the needs of our community: a strong commitment to eliminating family violence in all of its forms, to provide treatment to those who have been traumatized by violence, and to provide the skills necessary so that individuals who once were violent can live productive and caring lives.

October is ending, but awareness doesn’t end here. 💜

Survivors don’t always “look like” survivors. They might be your friend, your coworker, your neighbor, a family member, a student, or someone you love. Their stories aren’t always ours to know, but we can all show up.

Swipe through for ways to help:
→ Believe. Listen. Support.
→ Skip “Why didn’t they just leave?” Ask “What support do you need?”
→ Remember that survivors don’t owe anyone proof of what they’ve experienced.

If you or someone you know needs support, the YWCA Kaua‘i 24/7 Hotline is here: 808-245-6362.

Together, we can build communities where survivors are believed, supported, and safe, all year long.

The services and supports we provide to survivors of domestic and sexual violence at YWCA Kaua‘i can be the lifeline that starts the journey of healing – moving a victim to a survivor.
Right now, the federal funding that supports this work is in jeopardy. We need you, the members of our community, to come together to help us continue our work to provide shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, prevention education, support groups, and more. Join us today https://www.ywcakauai.org/donate.

Call your U.S. Senators to save the Crime Victims Fund—the primary source of funding for services that support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and other crimes. Right now, the Crime Victims Fund is dangerously low, putting lifesaving services and victims’ lives at risk. But survivors’ needs don’t rise and fall with the amount of money the federal government collects in a given year. Programs need dependable funding to keep their doors open and respond when someone reaches out.

Your voice matters, and voting by mail remains an option for eligible voters under our state’s rules. Courts have blocked federal efforts to impose new mail ballot restrictions for this election. Check your deadlines and make a plan to return your ballot: Vote411.org/YWCA

Young people today face unique challenges, including related to unhealthy relationships and digital abuse. Digital abuse can take many forms including controlling someone’s social media accounts, sending threatening messages, or sharing private images without consent.

These actions can erode trust, invade privacy, and cause emotional trauma. Educating youth about healthy boundaries and consent can help prevent abuse and foster healthy relationships.
