It supports survivors of intimate-partner and family violence through advocacy, education, and awareness, with services focused on women, youth, girls, and LGBTQ people. Its advocacy includes domestic violence, sexual assault, LGBTQ+ issues, youth, and civic engagement. HAWA also offers programs such as the Paj Yeeb Project, which remembers Hmong women killed by domestic violence in Wisconsin, and community resources including a 24/7 helpline.
