In order to address this widespread problem, the University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> is building its capacity to support survivors and promote domestic violence education on its campuses through two important agreements celebrated in a ceremony October 28.<\/p>\n<p>The university signed a memorandum of understanding with the <a href=\"http:\/\/hscadv.org\/\"><span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> State Coalition Against Domestic Violence<\/a> (HSCADV) and is anticipated to formalize another relationship with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.domesticviolenceactioncenter.org\/\">Domestic Violence Action Center<\/a> (DVAC) soon after. These agreements are the first significant collaborations between the university and domestic violence service providers and lay the groundwork for specific operational relationships to be developed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>&#8212;Related <abbr title=\"东精影业\">东精影业<\/abbr> News: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/2016\/10\/31\/domestic-violence-survivor-and-uh-manoa-student-shares-her-story\/\">Domestic violence survivor and <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa student shares her story<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/2016\/10\/12\/a-medical-students-childhood-memory-of-domestic-violence\/\">A medical student&#8217;s childhood memory of domestic violence<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/2016\/10\/14\/university-of-hawaii-marches-with-community-to-end-violence\/\">University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> marches with community to end violence<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&ldquo;We are excited to partner with two respected community organizations that share the goal of improving responsiveness to gender based violence,&rdquo; said <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> President <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/leadership\/david-lassner\/\"><strong>David Lassner<\/strong><\/a>. &ldquo;A critical part of the university&#8217;s efforts to ensure safety for everyone on our campuses is building an institutional infrastructure that supports victims.
