Despite the fact that authorities have dissolved the police force and have indicated that officers act in accordance with respect for human rights, Ergon also sees a problem in the excessive use of police force in Mexico City, according to the report to which ESPN had access.
Ergon points out that although progress has been made in Mexico City in protecting the rights of the LGBT community, there is still discrimination and violence based on gender and sexual orientation.
In addition, the evaluator highlights the concern for the rights of workers who are hired to carry out the sporting event, since in the Mexican capital there are still frauds, harassment and precarious working conditions in workplaces.
The above points translate into risks that national and international fans who come to the Azteca Stadium to witness the World Cup games will face.
Ergon asks to pay “attention to the protection of girls, women and adolescents, against exploitation, since child labor is common in Mexico City,” highlights ESPN.

In Monterrey, Nuevo León, Ergon points to sex trafficking as the main risk. The evaluator highlights that since 2017, said activity has increased in the entity now governed today by Movimiento Ciudadano, but before by the independent Jaime Rodríguez Calderón.
