IT’S TIME TO STOP EVE-TEASING
EVE-TEASING; There are hundreds of ways to do it: whistling, ogling, making kissing sounds, s*xist and s*xual comments, vulgar gestures, stalking, inappropriate touching. In extreme cases, there can be outright flashing, assault or extremely inappropriate acts in public.
“The change begins at homes where the parents must teach their sons to respect women”.
Whether they are in a bus/train, on roads or at a plush eating joint, women can never feel safe. Men ogle, whistle, pass derogatory remarks and do virtually everything to harass their female counterparts.
Eve Teasing is very common. Everyday women come across some form of eve teasing. What should women do? Should they speak up or remain quite?
The most alarming thing about eve-teasing is that it is the first rung on the ladder of s*x crimes.
EVE TEASING, “It Is ‘FUN’ for the BOYS”.
"Muslim youth have also adopted this disgraceful way of Eve Teasing".
EVE-TEASING IS a rampant social evil. It is all pervasive — beaches, roads, cinema halls, buses and sadly even in educational institutions. When eve-teasing persists even inside educational institutions, one can obviously infer that even the educated youth don't necessarily desist from indulging in this uncouth behaviour.
Eve-teasing is not a victimless crime as it appears on paper, it has resulted in deaths, and when it goes unchecked could lead to public humiliation of women even in broad daylight.
