US EditionMexico President Sheinbaum presses charges after being groped on the street
- On Nov 4, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was approached in Mexico City's historic center by a man who allegedly put an arm around her shoulder and tried to kiss her neck while touching her hip and chest near the presidential palace.
- Like her predecessor, Sheinbaum often mingles directly with crowds as she frequently walks without heavy guards, exposing Mexico's long-standing street harassment problem women face daily.
- A security aide intervened, pulling the alleged aggressor away as bystanders recorded the encounter; Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada announced the man, who appeared under the influence, was arrested overnight.
- At her Wednesday press conference, Sheinbaum said, `I decided to press charges because this is something that I experienced as a woman, but that we as women experience in our country` and announced Mexico's government will review state laws to classify street harassment as a crime.
- The incident provoked national outrage as UN Women data show about 70% of Mexican women aged 15 and over face harassment, with feminist groups and Mexico's National Governors Conference voicing support.
