A massive sustained campaign by women’s organisations highlighting this evil must be initiated.

Students in colleges must specifically be counselled.

Debates on this issue must be organised in colleges, TV shows, etc., with responsible moderators — who would listen and reason an argument instead of sounding outright biased.

Every parent should talk to his son about this.

Cinema is a powerful medium to showcase this issue.

ImagineImagineImagineImagine Imagine for a moment that you are an

eleven year old girl in Bangladesh.

After helping your mother cook and serve breakfast, you are preparing for school. You should be excited. You like learning and school provides a reprieve from the drudgery of household chores. But you are not excited. Instead, you are filled with dread.

That is because every day, on the long walk from your house to school, you are surrounded and teased by a group of boys. The boys yell indecent things at you. They laugh. They push, pinch, and grab at you. Sometimes they pull at your clothes so violently that you are afraid they will be ripped right off of your body.

By the time you get to school, your face is hot with humiliation and your eyes sting with the fear that you will have to go through the whole thing again on the walk home.

Unwelcome attentionUnwelcome attentionUnwelcome attentionUnwelcome attention 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, much more than can be achieved by reservation of seats for women in Parliament.

Hence eve-teasing is one of the major issues nowadays as the countries start developing and more women are entering the job-market.
