RainLily's new identity highlights the journey of healing, transformation, and coexistence
healing, transformation, and coexistence
RainLily's new identity highlights the coexistence of a raindrop and six petals, symbolising the trauma of sexual violence and the lifelong process of healing; survivors' resilience and transformation in the journey to find justice; and the mutually supportive environment that we strive to build.
The story of rainlily
Established as Hong Kong's first sexual violence crisis centre in 2000, RainLily provides one-stop intervention support to female victim-survivors above the age of 14 around the clock. Support services include pregnancy prevention, sexually transmitted infections screening and treatment, forensic medical examination, psychological support and judicial procedures support (statement-taking and court hearing), etc. Every year, RainLily provides in-depth support to over 300 victim-survivors and handles over 2,000 requests for assistance.
Our work is only possible because of the trust of survivors. With bravery and perseverance, survivors share their experience to raise public awareness of sexual violence and speak up for the rights of other victims in hope that no one will experience sexual violence again in our society.
Though some may associate survivors of sexual violence with petals broken and ravaged by a storm, the delicate rain lily is able to brave a summer torrent, and stand strong in the tranquil breeze and gentle light that breaks forth after the storm.

RainLily's name is increasingly well-known in the community throughout the years. However, it has not been easy to properly apply our old logo and identity for print and online use to accommodate our publicity needs, as well as highlighting our name in English. Through this rebrand, we wish to improve the identifiability of our logo, and reach more potential service users.
We thank the designers from DIPMAD for their professional service and support.
