Her work has focused on ending violence against women and girls, lesbians, women of color especially Native Hawai’ian, Asian, and Pacific Islander women.[4] ActivismFor 15 years, Kanuha worked as a field instructor in Minnesota, focusing on community health social work. Kanuha is one of the founding members of Incite! Women of Color Against Violence, an organization of feminists of color whose work has greatly contributed[6] to fighting sexual violence that is centered around gender women, non-conforming, and trans people of color. She co-founded the University of Hawai’i at the Hilo Women’s Center,[4] which provides a space for women to discuss the intersections of feminism, racism, ethnicity, indigeneity, class and other systems of hierarchy and conceptualizations. She also co-founded the Asian Pacific Islander Center on HIV/AIDS in New York.
