“If this happens to the president, where does that leave all the young women in our country?”
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum made the remark while announcing she was pressing charges against the man who groped her in public last week.
Her response struck a chord far beyond Mexico, which is unsurprising since a UN Women and Inter-Parliamentary Union survey found two-thirds of women politicians across 39 countries reported experiencing psychological violence. Women in politics face this abuse often with little protection or accountability.
More women are entering public life, but are they truly safe in it?
