Marching against domestic violence

Men and women supporters gathered in downtown Honolulu on Oct. 11 to show their opposition to domestic violence during the 13th annual Men’s March Against Violence. A several block noontime march from the Father Damien statue at the State Capitol ended back at the Queen Liliuokalani statue where various speakers talked about “Dispelling the Myths of Domestic Violence.” The reading of the names and stories of women and children who were killed in Hawaii over the past year because of domestic violence brought many to tears. This year’s Men’s March was sponsored by Catholic Charities Hawaii, the Domestic Violence Clearinghouse and Legal Hotline, and Kapiolani Community College. Joe Bloom, organizer of the event, is pictured directing the lead marchers.
