Quote:Senator proposes castration for rapistsMexico Daily News:
'It is time to put an end to violence against women and children'
Senator Armenta announces his castration proposal.
'A senator with the governing Morena party is preparing a proposal that would punish rapists with chemical
castration.
Alejandro Armenta Mier told a press conference that Mexico is in first place globally for cases of sexual abuse,
physical violence and homicide committed against minors last year, adding that a total of 4.5 million Mexicans
are rape victims.
In the state of Puebla alone, he continued, there are 800 recorded cases of femicides, 70% of which are also rape
cases.
“. . . the Morena parliamentary group is in favor of combating violence against women and children.
The purpose of this initiative is to castrate those who rape them,” said the senator from Puebla.
“. . . it is time to put a definitive stop” to this crime, Armenta said.
“I am a father, I have daughters, I have a wife; we have got to take drastic measures.”
The senator said he recognized the initiative might be controversial but he would seek a consensus with lawmakers
from other parties as well as human rights organizations to determine what route to take to come up with more severe
penalties in order to reduce the crimes in question...'
