📊 Hawaiʻi DV Statistics: By the Numbers

    •    On September 4, 2024, Hawaiʻi’s DV programs served 579 adult survivors and children, but 50 requests went unmet due to lack of resources—highlighting serious capacity issues.  

    •    Though lower than national averages, only 15.8% of Native Hawaiian women reported experiencing physical intimate partner violence; however advocates stress this is likely underreported due to stigma and data barriers.

    •    Adult IPV reporting has risen over time: unwanted sex by a partner increased from 3.7% (2013) to 6.4% (2021); physical abuse rose from 9.7% to 12.7%.  

    •    In 2021, 14.4% of Native Hawaiian women experienced physical intimate partner violence; among LGBTQ+ Native Hawaiians, the rate was 25.8%.
