a. Committee to evaluate attendance, purpose and effectiveness, program, venue and
marketing/advertisement.
Ms. Valente suggested that next year's equal pay day event include local businesses that are
compliant and in support of equal pay. She also recommended they consider handing out a
questionnaire for participants to complete. Ms. Smith proposed the Committee request a
gender equity pay audit from the County that include all pay scales, raises and promotions for
next year's event. The Committee decided to place this back on the agenda for further
discussion on a possible formal request to the Mayor's Office. The goal is to show the
community that the largest employer on the island, the County of Kauai, is in compliance
with gender equity pay.
Administrative Specialist Anela Segreti directed the Committee to the post evaluation sheet
that was handed out at the beginning of the meeting and asked that they answer the
questions.
• Attendance: There were 25 participants, which was higher than previous years. For
next year they plan to start earlier and invite local businesses and encourage more
male presence.
• Purpose and effectiveness: Expand to invite local businesses and request for a
County of Kauai gender equity pay report.
• Marketing/Advertisement: Press release and social media.

Governor David y: Ige
In recognition of
Denim Day 2019
April 24, 2019
On behalf of the State of Hawaii, I extend my warmest aloha to all attendees of Denim Day
2019 in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. We come together to show our support
for the victims of sexual assault by making a visible social statement to counter the
misconceptions surrounding sexual violence.
Now in its 20th year, Denim Day was started by Peace Over Violence in response to a ruling
by the Italian Supreme Court that found a victim's fashion choice implied consent. Amid
widespread public outrage, countless people around the world launched a protest by
wearing jeans in a show of solidarity against flawed and harmful attitudes about sexual
consent. This tradition continues today and encourages all of us to show our support for
survivors, counter rape culture and victim blaming, and increase public education about
sexual violence.
I commend the organizations and individuals who have championed the necessity and
power of consent as a healthy, normal and vital part of everyday interactions and supported
victims and survivors of sexual assault. Sexual violence is preventable, and prevention
includes changing behaviors and promoting respect of the personal and emotional
boundaries of others.
Mahalo nui loa to everyone who helped make Denim Day 2019 a reality, including the Kauai
Committee on the Status of Women, Zonta Club of Kaua'i and Zonta Club of Hanalei.
Together, we stand committed to raising awareness, advocating for change and preventing
sexual assault from occurring in our communities.
With warmest regards,
DAVID Y. IGE

WHEREAS, April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a campaign to prevent sexual violence through education and public
awareness. Denim Day, is a call to action for all people to come together by wearing denim as a visible sign of protest against sexual
violence; and
WHEREAS, Denim Day was originally triggered by a ruling from the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was
overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped her rapist remove her jeans
thereby implying consent. Women of the Italian Parliament protested the decision by wearing jeans to work. As news of the
decision spread, so did the protest; and
WHEREAS, in April 1999, a social service agency in Los Angeles established the first Denim Day in the United States and it
remains an integral part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. National Denim Day is designated on April 24, as an important
component of the campaign; and
WHEREAS, the Kaua'i Committee on the Status of Women, Zonta Club of Kaua'i, and Zonta Club of Hanalei advocate to
"Say No to Violence Against Women," a campaign to end violence against women and girls; and
WHEREAS, the Kaua'i Committee on the Status of Women, the Zonta Club of Kaua'i, and Zonta Club of Hanalei are working
together to encourage community members, elected officials, businesses, and students to make a social statement with their fashion
by wearing jeans as a visible means of protest against misconceptions that surround sexual assault on Denim Day; and
WHEREAS, Zonta International's Mission is "Empowering Women through Service & Advocacy." Zonta organizations locally
and around the globe advocate and campaign to end violence against women and girls as part of their mission.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DEREK S. K. KAWAKAMI, County of Kaua'i, State of Hawai'i, do hereby proclaim April 24, 2019, as
Denim Day on Kaua'i.

Survey Link: Voices of American Women Survey
Posted on NACW site - www.NACW.org
Approx. 15-20 minutes to complete
Data collection time frame: ongoing throughout 2019
Compiling of data statewide and nationwide in early 2020
Ways to Distribute the Survey
From past discussion and due to time limitations of our CSW members time, in lieu of holding a
series of forums across the island as other Commissions have organized in their states, Kaua'i
CSW discussed distributing the survey link in a variety of ways:
• Email the Link to our Mail List - these would be people who gave us their info from past
events, we should also create a list of our community partners to promote events and
activities overall, and of course encourage CSW Members as usual to share with their
individual networks, in addition to friends, family and others.
• Social Media Posting and Advertising the Link - it will take some fund allocation to pay
to 'boost' the posts, so that they appear to our target demographics: Women, 18+, within
our Kauai Zip Codes.
• Promoting via Free Radio Programs - KKCR, KONG, FM97, Star Media, for example
• Possibly via Print Publications - due to a limited budget, if print publication is free and
we can get featured articles about the project and CSW as whole, we can reach out to:
TGI, For Kauai, MidWeek, Kauai Family Magazine, Kauai Heartbeat, KIUC Circuits
Magazine Kauai Business Magazine, etc.
• Promoting within County of Kauai - Ask to send to County Employees via Office of the
Mayor, Council, Department Heads, Boards and Commissions, etc.
• Promoting within State of Hawaii - Kaua'i Offices - Ask to send to SOH Employees on
Kauai, department heads, DOE, UH-KCC, DOH, etc.; also highlighting this project for our
Kauai State Legislators (three House Reps, Senator); along with U.S. Congresswoman
and Senators
• Adding the Link to our Personal Email Signatures with a brief explanation of the project
to get people to click
• Participating in Local Events and having a CSW Resource Table &/or someone to
promote and speak about the Voices of American Women Project - this is where
partnering is key in asking other women's advocacy groups and community partners to
also put the word out.
• Combine Funds & Forces with the other County Committees & State Commission -
this is also a possibility, since if we can design a specific type of 'Ad' or verbiage to put out
there, we could have a coordinated effort for a statewide campaign to promote this project
and the survey link to Women, 18 & up throughout Hawaii.
From the 2018 conference, I remember it being explained that the purpose of this project is to get
a gauge of what are the most important issues and areas of concern for women in our local
communities. And moreover to show the similarities, trends and differences between what might
be important in one area/town, may not be a concern in another portion of that same island
community, and of course looking at the commonalities across the board.
Our local data for Kauai and Niihau island would then be combined with Oahu, Maui and
Hawaii Island Counties, then looked at among data from other states nationwide. From there, the
hope is that we can bring the information gathered to our legislators (and even use for
grants/funding) and show a sampling of the concerns, needs, health and status of the women in
our communities; in turn helping us in advocating for women. Patricia OLD 12011- d (Q
