Mexico City's New Law Punishes Drink Spiking with 17 Years in Prison

Mexico City Passes Landmark Law Criminalizing Drink Spiking: A Step Towards Nationwide Protection Mexico City has taken a significant step towards protecting women's safety by enacting a new law that criminalizes the act of surreptitiously adding drugs to someone's drink. This law, passed earlier this month, makes drink spiking a serious offense, punishable by a substantial prison sentence. The initiative was spearheaded by politician Chucho Sesma of the Green Party, who stated, "This is a victory for all women in Mexico City. We will not tolerate this kind of violence." The video shows the impact of the law, highlighting the need for its expansion across the country. The creator of the video, Badabun, expressed hope that "this protection will be extended to all women in the country." The new law represents a powerful message that drink spiking will no longer be tolerated, and the hope is that it will serve as a model for other regions to follow suit. The video's footage from a crowded public event underscores the relevance of this issue to everyday life and the urgency of nationwide implementation.
