JAKARTA - The Municipal Government in Mexico will apply fines to artists who perform misogynist-themed songs at a concert.

Artis-artis terus harus membayar hingga 1.2 juta peso (56 ribu poundsterling) jika menyanyikan lirik yang mempromosikan "pencanaan, diskriminasi, marginalisasi, atau pemeriksaan" perempuan di tengah wabah kekerasan berbasis berbasis gender.

According to the United Nations, ten women and girls are killed every day in Mexico. The mayor, Marco Bonilla, recently said in a video posted to Facebook that seven out of every 10 calls made to emergency services totaling domestic violence, mostly against women.

In addition, the level of domestic violence in the city has also increased sharply.

In the video, he promises to donate money collected from artist fines that violate regulations to women's shelters or programs to prevent violence against women and girls.

This is one of five municipalities in the state with a gender warning, stated because of the high level of structural violence against women, added board member Patricia Ulate, head of city commission for women, families, and gender equality (via Guardian).

Every action that contributes to eradicating this situation is taken into account.

However, the move was criticized by Francisco S waychez, a congressman for the state of badminton who turned it down as "unusable and denganronistic". Meanwhile, local media have questioned whether it could affect the concerts of well-known reggaeton artists in the future or artists from popular genres of corridos tumbados, such as Peso Pluma and Bad Bunny.

Mexican President Manuel L▁gagasanpez Obrador last month confirmed that musicians have the right to "sing whatever they want" but criticize artists who glorify violence and drug use.

"We will not remain silent when they say [the ecstasy display] is good and they have a 50 caliber weapon, and that their idol is the most famous drug dealer," he said.

Los Tigres del Norte, a very popular Mexican band, was fined in 2017 for playing narcotics, a song that honors drug trafficking.

However, these sanctions do not have much effect on the popularity of this band.
