In Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum made history last year when she became the first woman to be sworn in as the country's president.

But last week, she was involved in an incident highlighting how even those in positions of power can experience a common form of harassment.

While walking through the capital, going from one government office to another, and stopping for pictures with fans, President Scheinbaum was groped by a man.

The video made international headlines.

Los Angeles Times reporter Kate Linthicum spoke to us from Mexico City.

The video drew national outrage and reignited conversations about the prevalence of harassment against women in Mexico.

Scheinbaum said she filed a criminal complaint against the individual, telling a news conference that a line must be drawn.

And she questioned what position she'd be leaving Mexican women in if she didn't report it.

Authorities have since said that the man in question has been detained.

Scheinbaum also said that she would review state laws across the country to ensure that street harassment is categorized as a crime nationwide.

Scheinbaum entered office with a promise to make Mexico safer and more equitable for women.

And she's made some key strides, including a new pension program for women and a congressional amendment that makes it unconstitutional to pay women less than men.

She's also required every state to have a specialized prosecutor's office that deals with femicides, which Mexico defines as murders in which authorities prove that the female victim's gender was a motive.

Lanthicum told us that the assault on Scheinbaum was a wake-up call for a country that has come far in gender equality, but still has a long way to go.
