Off the news: More aid needed to fight domestic violence

Oct 11, 2024

Sign-wavers lined Kilauea Avenue in Hilo this week to draw attention to the need for stronger efforts to prevent domestic violence. It’s a serious problem in East Hawaii, where the number of domestic violence cases handled by Child & Family Service (CFS) Hilo has been on the rise. The agency served 2,412 people in domestic violence programs in fiscal year 2024, up from 2,123 in 2022.
