00:00There isn't normally a way to tell if your drink has been spiked, but an electronic music
00:05festival held at a beach in eastern Spain is doing exactly that.
00:09Rosana Galvez, a social worker for the Valencia Region's Women's Network, explains,
00:15�We are starting a chemical submission testing project as another way to prevent a possible
00:20case of sexual aggression before it happens.
00:23The violent points are an initiative of the Spanish Equality Ministry in collaboration
00:28with local governments.
00:29Reuters reports the so-called violent point is where social workers are using testing
00:35kits to detect GHB, also known as liquid ecstasy.
00:40They are also there to respond to possible cases of gender-based violence and sexual
00:44abuse, and many believe the addition to the festival is very important.
00:49You take a sample from the drink you suspect may have the substance and transfer it to
00:53a test tube containing a liquid that will react to the substance.
00:57A change of colour or not indicates the potential spike.
