The subway from Mexico City took the most original measure to make men more aware of sexual violence. This is a measure taken to raise awareness against sexual assault and make men understand situations that some women have to go every day.

For a limited period in time, this subway is going to feature ‘penis seats’ that will make men understand what women have to go through on public transportation.

This seat features the torso of a men and a penis and has the following message written on it: “exclusively for men.” The idea is definitely great and is already working. It was created with the purpose of provoking discomfort and until now, it did.

Under the seat, there is a message that says that although this is uncomfortable to sit on, it doesn’t compare with the sexual violence that women experience on a daily basis in the subway.

Mexico City is especially affected by sexual violence, as such cases have been growing more and more.

According to a survey from three years ago, this city features the worst physical and verbal harassment cases on public transportation in the world.

Since then, a campaign started and is now focusing entirely on men. The “penis seats” are part of this campaign and until now, they got the wanted result. The members of this organization want men to have empathy towards women and what they have to go through daily.

On social media, people already responded to this and think it’s a fantastic idea. Some think that all subways must feature this.
