These materials have been developed for your organisation to use during the 16 Days of Activism and beyond. They are available via Canva, to help you easily add your organisation's logo, or to customise for your community.
To save these from Canva, select "Share", then "Download".
To access these on Canva, select "View template" to open the editor. Delete the logo placeholder and add your own.
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.

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.
