The Mexico City Archdiocese has condemned new law against abuse of women, since it is of the view that it is encouraging gender conflict.
According to a column in archdiocese’s weekly,
A law that seeks to eradicate violence against women is a good initiative ... but we should not fall into the game of feminism, which tries to pit genders against each other rather than find equality in human relations.
The law has received both condemnation and praise in recent weeks.
Women’s groups and members of the left-leaning Democratic Revolution Party have said the bill is an important step in the country’s long struggle against machismo and domestic abuse.
Lawmakers from the conservative National Action Party, however, asserted that it has legal shortcomings and overlaps the jurisdiction of Mexico’s states and municipalities.
