CSW 2020-03 Update on items approved for funding from the fiscal budget 2019-2020.
[4/21/20, 5/24/20]
A. Ms. Valente to share findings on partnering with YWCA on domestic violence
outreach advertisements on Facebook and Ho'ike Kauai Community Television.
B. Update on logo items.
Ms. Valente submitted three YWCA samples of social media prints that would be advertised
on YWCA's social media accounts that are established and currently in use. The prints
include a tagline on the bottom that the message was sponsored by the Kauai Committee on
the Status of Women. She explained the idea behind the graphics, which were to be discreet
and protect the victim that could be isolated and quarantined in their homes due to the corona
virus pandemic. The committee preferred the second print, but all three could be used.
Everyone felt the third print was too plain and did not grab their attention. Ms. Valente
shared that the advertisement would run based on the amount of funds and it could be
targeted to a select group of women on Kauai.
The committee suggested the following changes to the second print;
1. Change the color of the word "Home" to a bright orange; similar to the font color that
YWCA uses.
2. Tagline wording should be bolder and clearer so viewer can read it.
3. Change picture of female to a younger teenager or neutral image to attract all ages.
4. Brighten the background, too dark.
Administrator Ellen Ching said women between the ages of 18-24 and 25-34 are the largest
age group that experience domestic violence and advised they filter the ads for women in
those age groups. Ms. Ching shared that the prints would need to have the County logo
inserted and approved by the Public Information Officer in the Mayor's Office.
