Mexico masculinity summit continues despite funding controversy

A masculinity summit featuring controversial speakers is proceeding in Jalisco, Mexico, despite public backlash over alleged government funding. The "Fearless Masculinity" event, which charges up to $430 per ticket, reportedly received a 400,000 peso subsidy for speaker fees and lodging. Local government entities initially listed as sponsors later denied funding the event. Mexico faces high rates of gender-based violence, and rights groups have filed a complaint questioning the use of public funds for an event promoting traditional gender roles.
