President Sheinbaum presses charges after groping incident in Mexico street

• Sheinbaum said it must be made clear that, "beyond being president, this is something that many women experience in the country and in the world; no one can violate our body and personal space."

Zoom in: In a video accompanying the post, Sheinbaum said: "I first thought about it [the incident] as a woman, 'Should I press charges? Should I not press charges?' But ultimately, I thought, 'I have to press charges; it's not an option not to.'"

• She noted that "many women have to deal with this" and "if this can happen to the president, what can we expect for all the young women in our country?"
• Mexico's first woman president added: "This is something that should not happen."

Of note: Sheinbaum said the resharing of the video of her attack is also a crime and that posting it is "completely unethical and immoral."

• Doing so could contravene a Mexican law that prohibits the dissemination and production of intimate sexual content without consent and it could be considered revictimization, she said.

What's next: Sheinbaum said she plans to launch a campaign to educate men, underscoring that respect for women is essential.

• "This is an issue of dignity for women and of recognizing our rights," she said. "We have published a women's rights booklet, and this is connected to that. It's a matter of defending all Mexican women."
