EVE-TEASING IS a rampant social evil that the women is facing today......
It is everywhere in India — 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. The issue always surfaces when something prominent happens....
Public memory happens to be short and soon things return to the usual anarchy and we accept the fact that `nothing much can be done.'
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. The rape of a medical student in Delhi in the recent past shocked the whole nation. Eve-teasing also portrays a bad image of the country among tourists. The immeasurable damage to a woman's self-esteem and the subsequent avoidance of public places by single women could hardly take us on the way to achieving gender equality.
I think mostly the girls rather thn women folk are the victims of eve teasing .......
Not even a single day occurs where girls can travel in bus without push or pinch frm men...
The main thing is tht these women including me is not responding to this type of harresments frm men...
We need to respond to all these type of behaviour frm men..Im not including all the men folk in the country bt there are some gr of men who are entring into buses for dng this thing only....
Every action is performed with an intention. The intention behind eve-teasing is: to catch a girl's eye and to arouse attention in some way; and more importantly this harassment is an early manifestation of patriarchal masculinity.
Eve-teasing is not just a college girl's problem. It leads to insecurity for parents or to even anyone who's loved one undergoes this. This unwelcome masculine attention on women subjects them to an unimaginable sexual pressure. Tucking this issue under the carpet is not a solution. A civilised society cannot afford to ignore such an issue. Eve-teasing deserves to be tackled actively. Eradicating eve-teasing will help women access public places fearlessly and will further gender equality in India
