UN News published an investigation by journalist Zorayda Gallegos into the treatment of women serving in Mexico's armed forces. According to the report, women in uniform are expected to obey superior officers without question, and for some this has included orders to enter an officer's bedroom. The piece, published on November 1, 2026, is based on Gallegos's reporting and draws attention to the pressure faced by women within the military chain of command. The excerpt available did not give specific cases, numbers of women affected, or any response from Mexico's armed forces or government.
