What is eve teasing ? Eve teasing literally means annoying or irritating women. It is referred to as an act of harassing women playfully or maliciously, physically or psychologically to make fun, irritate, provoke, annoy, embarrass through comments, remarks, gestures, jokes, physical contact and taunts.
Why eve teasing? Lack of interaction between Man and Women at school and college level. Frankly, the rate of unmarried frustrated men indulging is eve teasing is higher than married men in India. I have seen among my friend who were among the company of women tend to be more empathetic and well behaved while those only with men were boorish and displayed lack of emotion.
Sex Education : Both men and women are not given free and fair sex education. Their only education is biological functions of penis and vagina. They learn about sex seeing how honey bee impregnates a flower ;).
Laws on sexual and rights on sexual harassment : Both men and women are not taught about their rights and law on eve teasing and sexual harassment. Once everyone is taught, made understood about their rights and the struck laws on sexual harassment, things would change. For example, if there is regular eve teaser in the community, the people can make video of the person, collect witnesses and launch a FIR along with a lawyer. The police will take the action.
Patriarchal Society: Our society is patriarchal which is around dominating men. Even now in tier 2 and backwards, the position of women is discriminated. They are still considered good enough only for household work. It is pathetic but it is true .
