Winterthur Women's Hotline Rebrands to Fiera
The Winterthur victim support centre for women formerly known as "Beratungsstelle Frauen-Nottelefon" has rebranded to "Fiera Opferberatung Winterthur" with a new name, logo and multilingual website. The redesign and visual identity were created by Zurich communications agency Art.I.schock after two creative workshops; the site uses simplified navigation with three icons (call, language, menu) and topic sections such as protection and the domestic violence law. The new identity emphasises a strong violet-blue base colour with complementary illustrations. The organisation, active since 1990, cites the nationwide launch of the Swiss victim‑help number 142 on 2026-05-01 as a reason for the name change. Digital barrierefrei handled the website programming.
Local agency-led rebranding for a nonprofit and website relaunch; limited industry impact beyond creative and UX work.

Victim‑support number 142 added to Swiss campaign
Agency Wirz and the Swiss Federal Office for Gender Equality (EBG) have integrated the new national victim‑support short number 142 into the second wave of the prevention campaign “Gleichstellung verhindert Gewalt”. The 142 hotline, launched in May 2026, is free, anonymous and available 24/7; it will be placed on all campaign materials to increase nationwide visibility. The campaign’s second wave adds topics on digital control in relationships and children affected by domestic violence, while retaining non‑graphic imagery. Organisers cite 2025 criminal statistics showing roughly 22,000 domestic violence offences (about 44% of recorded violent crimes) and note that over half of homicides occur in domestic settings. The campaign is backed by a coalition of federal, cantonal, municipal and civil society partners and is part of the federal Equality Strategy 2030. Credits list EBG (client), BAG (campaign support), Wirz Group AG (concept & execution) and Konnex (media planning).
BMJV and Fischer-Appelt launch domestic violence campaign
The Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection (BMJV) has launched a nationwide awareness campaign titled "Dein Mut findet Rückhalt" aimed at women and survivors of domestic violence. Developed with agency Fischer-Appelt and informed by an online survey of 2,500 women (including 1,000 affected), the campaign foregrounds survivors' strength and presents a broad support network through illustrated helpers. The integrated media plan runs in three waves through next year and includes large-format OOH and DOOH, transit and waiting-area screens, pharmacy and medical-office displays, discreet placements in bakeries and hospitality, online ads, native, social, SEA, and PR. Fischer-Appelt reports more than 100 million gross contacts planned for 2026. All materials point to raus-aus-gewalt.de, which aggregates resources, a helpline link, a localized support finder, and an emergency exit button; a free media toolkit for partners is also provided.
Züriwerk unveils inclusive rebrand with Evoq
Züriwerk (Stiftung Züriwerk) has refreshed its brand identity, adopting the claim “ändern was behindert” and replacing its previous blue-and-white look with a new magenta-led visual system. The redesign was developed through a participatory process involving more than 100 employees, residents, specialists, executive management and board members. The new mark is based on an Ü with three dots; a new accessibility-focused typeface, “Zueriwerk Sans,” was created with TypoType. Agency Evoq designed and internally programmed the new website, integrating the job search (without distinguishing between professionals and staff), shop system, donation tool, newsletter and HR platform. The redesign emphasises supported communication (multimodal communication) and easy language pages for core content.
