Miguel Hidalgo mayor establishes commission to prevent sexual harassment

Miguel Hidalgo Mayor Mauricio Tabe has launched a Specialized Commission for the Attention of Sexual Harassment and Assault cases, aiming to thoroughly investigate such behaviors within the mayor's office.

The commission's objective is to guarantee that no individual, regardless of gender, becomes a victim of these offenses, fostering an environment where employees can work without threats, fear, or terror. Mayor Tabe stressed the importance of fairness and sending the correct message that abuses will not be tolerated.

“

We want to be very fair and send the correct signal; there are no abuses from one side or the other. That is why the protocol, that is why the work team, but the very clear message for all collaborators is that in Miguel Hidalgo, harassment will not be permitted.

“

Let this become action every day, so that no collaborator lives with fear or terror of harassment from a collaborator or a boss, so that they can come to work in peace.

He highlighted that this initiative aligns with his initial public commitment upon taking office, prioritizing the well-being of women. Tabe acknowledged that sexual harassment and assault disproportionately affect women, citing Inegi data that indicates 70.1% of women aged 15 and older have experienced some form of violence, with sexual violence being the most frequent at 49.7%.

The mayor urged all employees to avoid any such situations and called upon the commission members to resolve cases with impartiality. He reiterated a policy of zero tolerance, promising that acts of harassment and assault will have consequences and that sanctions will be publicly applied following thorough case reviews.

“

Let all collaborators know, let all men in the mayor's office know, they must respect women and that acts of harassment, of harassment will have consequences; and it is good that it is done collegially so that they are publicly displayed and there is no concession, that they also publicly attend to the sanctions that must be carried out and the review of each of the cases.
