WHAT IS THE RED CARD PLEDGE?

The Red Card Pledge is the commitment to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #5 - Achieve Gender Equality and Empower All Women and Girls.
 
In soccer, a Red Card is shown to any player who has committed a serious infraction of the rules, and permanently dismisses the player from the field. The Red Card Pledge Campaign envisions any form of gender-based discrimination and violence as a serious infraction of the rules of society, deserving of a red card.
 
Do you think women and girls should be free from all forms of discrimination, violence, and exploitation? Do you think all women and girls should be free to pursue their goals and realize their aspirations? Do you agree with former U.S. President Barack Obama that "you can judge a nation, and how successful it will be, based on how it treats its women and its girls?"
