Mexico City Metro's P3nis Seat Sparks Debate

When a new style of seat suddenly appeared on Mexico City's metro system, it was labelled as inappropriate, uncomfortable, humiliating and embarrassing.

It was supposed to be.The seat, moulded to include a protruding p3nis and chest, was designed to highlight s3xual harassment experienced by female passengers.

The explanation next to the men-only label read: "It is uncomfortable to sit here, but that is nothing compared to the s3xual violence that women suffer on their daily journeys."

The seat is not a permanent fixture, but part of a campaign called #NoEsDeHombres, which aimed to highlight s3xual harassment on public transport. But the response has been mixed.
