The director of the Christian Care Centre, Ruth Hope, says more than 500 women, girls and children are under their care, the highest ever recorded at the centre.
The Christian Care centre in the Solomon Islands is run by a handful of Anglican nuns, one of whom doubles as a nurse.
The Christian Care Centre was established without Government support in 2000.
Sister Hope says the national government also has a crucial role to play in ending the violence.
The 2007 Solomon Islands Family Health and Safety Study revealed that two out of every three women will experience violence from a relative or intimate partner within their lifetime.
Last month Miss Solomon Islands Beauty Pageants raised their voice to stop domestic violence against women and children.
They raised their voice after visiting the victims of domestic violence at the Christian Care Centre at Tenaru.
The beauty pageants said, it was sad thing for them to see women and children having gone through hard life as the result of domestic violence.
“It was sad thing for us to see women seeking protection and better life at the centre caused by domestic violence,” Miss Red Manson Lovida Reggie said.
Miss Honiara City Theresa Rokaia added their hearts was broken when they see the victims avoiding themselves to meet them.
