UH Hilo students and staff are welcome to fill out the volunteer form and walk with the student club Pride Hilo in the parade and/or help table at the festival.
In observance of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, UH Hilo Women’s Center is scheduling a sign-making event July 28 in prep for sign-waving event July 30.
The conference’s theme, “Educate to Empower: Uplifting All Women in STEM,” was prominent in the panel discussions and various workshops offered throughout the day.
The inaugural event was planned by women students in the sciences, and the discussions were led by accomplished women scientists, administrators and staff who know a thing or two about the challenges women face in advancing their STEM careers.
At the event, students and staff gathered at the UH Hilo Campus Center Plaza to paint t-shirts with meaningful messages in support of domestic violence victims and survivors.
Photos help spread awareness and encourage students to be active participants in the fight against gender based oppression.
Domestic violence rates on Hawai‘i Island are twice the national average, making this problem even more detrimental to local communities.
