Downloadable resources for preventing gendered violence

.

These materials have been developed for your organisation to use year-round. They are available via Canva, so you can easily add your organisation's logo, or to customise for your community if you like. You can also take inspiration from the designs or the messages on them to create your own materials.

During the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, you are welcome to use any of these assets, as well as other campaign assets

Social media tiles and messaging templates

These resources are designed to be both broad and varied to allow you to choose the messages that best suit your audience and community. You may choose to share them “as is”, or you may want to adapt the captions or statements to suit the audience you are speaking to.  

For example, you may want to speak directly to the rights of women with disabilities, women from a faith community, trans women or First Nations women. Many women experience intersecting forms of discrimination, and very few people hold just one identity or experience.

Logos and brand guidelines

While not a requirement of using these assets, if you are adding the Respect Victoria logo to a design, please follow these guidelines:

  • Use our stacked brand mark in orange where possible.  
  • In terms of hierarchy, your council/organisation’s logo should come first, then Respect Victoria’s logo, then your partner organisation’s logo.  
  • Our logo minimum size is 20mm for print and 100px for digital.  
  • Do not use the Victorian State Government logo on materials you create yourself.

Translated assets

Respect Victoria engaged a multicultural communications agency to provide advice and translation services for these assets. Following the guidance of its Community Advisory Panel, we produced translations in Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Greek, Punjabi and Vietnamese.

For each of these languages, the agency recruited two community members to review a selection of translated statements for use on posters and social media tiles, without exposure to the original English text. Those community representatives responded with their preference for the most effective messages. This approach ensured unbiased feedback and culturally appropriate messaging. Please feel free to share your feedback on these assets with us by emailing contact@respectvictoria.vic.gov.au.

You can also use the customisable assets above to create posters specifically for your community.
