Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum plans to press charges after being groped during a public appearance, sparking a debate on gender-based violence in Mexican society. This incident highlights the pervasive issue of machismo culture and violence against women in Mexico, where 98% of gender-based murders go unpunished. Sheinbaum's decision to take legal action aims to address the broader problem of harassment faced by women, underscoring the need for cultural change and increased security measures for politicians and public figures.
