On the streets of #Mexico City this week, many #women could quickly recall frightening personal incidents—men following them on the street or groping them on a crowded train. Many said they did not believe they could count on the #police to pursue such cases, whether #SexualHarassment was a punishable #crime or not.

In the capital, where #SexualHarassment & #abuse are crimes, many #women said the #police would file a complaint only if a victim knew her abuser’s name. Going to the authorities was widely seen as a waste of time, they said; even if a complaint was filed, it would be unlikely to result in a full investigation or arrest, as it did in President Sheinbaum’s case.
