Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum presses charges after street groping incident

"loud and clear, no, women's personal space must not be violated."

"If this is done to the president, what is going to happen to all of the young women in our country?"

"I decided to press charges because this is something that I experienced as a woman, but that we as women experience in our country,"

""It happens regularly, it happens on public transportation," she said. "It's something you experience every day in Mexico.""

President Claudia Sheinbaum was groped by a drunken man while walking from Mexico's National Palace to the Education Ministry in Mexico City. She pressed charges against the man and urged states to reform laws and procedures to make it easier for women to report assaults. She called for a clear message that women's personal space must not be violated and framed pressing charges as a responsibility to protect women and set an example. The incident highlighted the daily harassment faced by many women, with commuters and workers recounting repeated attacks and men following women home.
