Show a red card to abusers (Spanish: Saca tarjeta roja al maltratador) is a campaign against domestic violence launched by the Spanish Ministry of Equality on 18 March 2010 that has the support of many famous artists, journalists and athletes.[1] It is considered very effective in helping "to abandon complicity and take a step in favour of justice."[2]
The initiative encourages every citizen to show a red card as a symbol to condemn any form of gender violence and to actively fight against abuse. It is asserted during this initiative that violence has no place in society.[3]
For this campaign, the authors explain that "the objective is to generate a social movement so that everyone, personally, welcomes this symbol and makes it their own."[2] A series of television spots has been made in order to raise awareness on the issue of violence. Several professionals from different areas have participated (for free) with a red card saying firmly NO to any aggression against women.[3]
