The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, was attacked by a man while she was interacting with citizens in Mexico City, raising concerns about inadequate presidential security and the prevalence of sexual harassment of women in the country.

    1. This person approached me completely drunk. I don't know if he was on drugs.
    2. It's a commitment to not look the other way, to not allow misogyny to remain hidden in custom, to not accept one more humiliation, one more abuse, one more femicide.
    3. This is something I experienced as a woman, but it is something that all women in our country experience.
    4. I experienced it before I was president. It shouldn't happen. No one should violate our personal space. No man has the right to violate that space.
    1. If the most powerful woman in Mexico experienced harassment, what can women who travel on public transportation or walk alone every day expect?
    2. This is the reality that millions of women and girls face daily.
    1. After the dissolution of the Presidential Guard, no specialized protection system was rebuilt. Sheinbaum relies on a small team of aides, not a professional perimeter security unit.
    1. The reasons she was harassed are patriarchy and sexism.
    1. May this also serve as an example for [her assistants]: it is not acceptable for her to be so exposed.
    2. Hopefully [the presidency will press charges], and the president will send a clear message: no man has the right to kiss or touch a woman without her consent.
    1. Even if you're the president, any guy believes he has the right to touch you.
