Mexico President Sheinbaum files charges after street groping incident

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum filed charges after being groped by a drunk man while greeting supporters near the presidential palace in Mexico City. The incident, caught on camera, has prompted her to call for sexual harassment to be made a crime nationwide. She emphasized that if such an attack could happen to the president, it could happen to any woman. Sheinbaum vowed to review legislation so harassment is punishable in all 32 states and urged easier reporting of assaults. Despite criticism of her security, she refuses to increase protection, highlighting women’s safety amid Mexico’s ongoing femicide and harassment crisis.
