Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has called for the nationwide criminalization of sexual harassment following a disturbing incident in which she was groped and harassed by an intoxicated man. The incident occurred as Sheinbaum was walking down the street, and the man approached her from behind, placing his arm around her shoulder and inappropriately touching her hip and chest while attempting to kiss her neck. A member of her security detail intervened and removed the man from the scene. Sheinbaum, Mexico’s first female president, later filed a formal complaint with the police, emphasizing the importance of taking action to protect all women in the country. She stated, “If they do this to the president, what will happen to all women in our country?” Sheinbaum announced that her government would review whether sexual harassment is classified as a criminal offense across all 32 federal districts in Mexico, as current laws vary by region. She also revealed plans to launch a campaign to address the issue, drawing from her own experiences of harassment in her youth. Despite the incident, Sheinbaum remained composed and even agreed to take a photo with the man before he was arrested. The event has sparked widespread criticism of her security team and highlighted the pervasive issue of macho attitudes that normalize the violation of women’s personal space. According to UN Women, approximately 70% of Mexican women aged 15 and over have experienced at least one incident of sexual harassment in their lives.
