Authorities in the Mexican city of Chihuahua have moved to ban performances of songs that “promote violence against women,” citing high levels of domestic violence
The city council unanimously approved the measure on July 26, according to Mayor Marco Bonilla, who said fines for non-compliance would range from 674,000 pesos to 1.244 million pesos . “Violence against women has reached levels that we could consider a pandemic,” Bonilla said in a video message posted on Facebook, adding that almost 70% of emergency calls in the city related to domestic violence, in particular against women.
” In Chihuahua state there have been 24 femicides, or gender-based killings, from January-June this year, according to statistics from Mexico’s ministry of public security. It is not clear how the new law will be enforced, and officials did not name any artists in particular that it would target. However, musical genres such as reggaeton, popularized by artists such as Bad Bunny, could fall foul, after drawing criticism in some quarters for explicit and sexist lyrics.
