"President Claudia Sheinbaum said she is pressing charges after a man groped her in the street while she walked between meetings in Mexico City. She also called on states to scrutinize their laws and procedures to make it easier to report such assaults and said Mexicans needed to hear a loud and clear no, women's personal space must not be violated."
"The groping occurred Tuesday as the president, on a five-minute walk from the National Palace to the Education Ministry offices, stopped to talk with people in the street. In a video circulating widely on social platforms, a man came up behind her and put his right hand on her right shoulder, then leaned in and appeared to kiss her neck. He swept his left hand up toward her breast; she brushed it away and maintained a stiff smile as she stepped away from him."

Sheinbaum urged states to review laws and procedures to ease reporting of such assaults, affirmed women’s right to personal space, and declined to increase her security.
