INTRODUCTION:

Bangladesh, a small and developing country, is beset with multiple problems. Among them, eveteasing, nowadays, has become a talk of the country owing to its injurious effects on women,
especially to the teen aged girls. Its obvious that no conscious citizen of our country is
unacquainted with this problem created by evil-doers. Whenever, we put our eyes on daily
newspapers, we find the news of suicide of any school or college going girl which is the outcome
of eve-teasing.
I reckon that everyone knows what eve-teasing is, for which there is no need to define it black
and white. Varieties of reasons can be cited. Through satellite TV, the young boys and girls are
watching pornography which is directly or indirectly leading them to eve-teasing. It is a matter of
great regret.
Most victims of it are women or girls who fail to wear very modest dress. On the contrary, those
wearing decent dress are not found to be teased as usual. The previous two sentences imply that
not only the evil doer youths, but also the women wearing indecorous dress are equally
responsible for it. There is a law against it but law is not enough to solve the problem. Parents
should make their children realize the impacts of eve-teasing.
Definition of Eve Teasing:
Our Society is suffering from many social evils at the moment. One of the worst evils is the Eve
Teasing. Eve Teasing is a term which usually involves young men annoying or disquieting girls or
women by making sexual innuendos against them in public or in work places. Eve teasing is a
euphemism used in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan for public sexual harassment, street
harassment or molestation of women by men.
With this given definition, in this technology based era, one new thing should be added to the
definition of eve teasing, that is teasing by mobile phone and mobile tracking. The government
should pay attention to these types of teasing as well. Eve teasing is widespread in every form in
our society. I guess every woman for sure in her lifetime has come across some form of eve
teasing.
Eminent sociologist Pratikha Baxi of India has stated, Eve teasing is a euphemistic expression
that lives in post-colonial India and refers largely to sexual harassment of women in public
spaces, thereby constituting women as eves, temptresses who provoke men into states of
sexual titillation. This popular perception of sexual harassment posits the phenomenon as a joke
where women are both a tease and deserve to be teased. Considered a growing problem
throughout the subcontinent, eve teasing ranges in severity from sexually-coloured remarks to
outright groping.

Eve teasing begins as an attempt to irritate a girl or catch her attention A lewd stare, a sly whistle,
a well-timed clap, an unwarranted bump, a seemingly causal touch, a lingering look at a
vulnerable time, the humming of suggestive song, passing downright uncouth comments, cheap
gestures, display of indecent snaps or videos, giving unwelcome call or missed call, sending
indecent texts ., all these are typical examples of eve teasing.
Eve teasers:
As conscious citizens, we should initiate some effective measures to encounter this gender
biased social menace. But prior to this, we need to unmask the causes of eve teasing. Who get
involved in eve teasing and why? One statistics suggests, 32% of the eve teasers are students,
35% are anti-socials while 33% are middle-aged men.
So, the spectrum of eve teasers is very wide starting from teenagers to middle-aged men, either
illiterate or educated. Psychologists and social scientists suggest eve teasing to be a result of the
frustration suffered by a majority of youth. Disappointed by the unbecoming attitude of teachers
and indifferent parents, they yearn for an outlet to vent their aggression and depression.
Moreover, those who do not inherit good values involve in acts of sexual harassment.

Harassment styles:

Eve teasers frequently undergo unnecessary touching, pushing, shoving, or vulgar comments on
the public transports and streets, while on the other hand they are also frequently harassed at
workplaces by male colleagues or bosses. These experiences severely hinder womens
productivity as well as mobility. In the long run, these women and girls, their families, and thus the
whole society suffer.
A vulgar stare, a sly whistle, a wink, a well-timed clap, an unwarranted bump, a seemingly casual
touch, a lingering look at a vulnerable time, the humming of a suggestive song, passing
downright uncouth comments, cheap gestures, the display of an indecent snap or video, bikes
flying close with hands stretched to feel around you, passing by in slow moving cars blasting loud
music with many eyes inside measuring you up all these are typical examples of such sexual
harassment.

Eve Teasing in Bangladesh A Social Curse


Our Society is suffering from many social evils at the moment. One of the worst evils is the Eve
Teasing. Eve Teasing is a term which usually involves young men annoying or disquieting girls or
women by making sexual innuendos against them in public or in work places. Education Ministry
in Bangladesh has designated 13 June, 2010 as Eve Teasing Protection Day. This declaration
reflects increasing concern over the worrying number of girls and women who have committed
suicide

in

the

country

to

escape

sexual

harassment

known

as

Eve

Teasing.

School and College gates or the street is main the target of the wayward young men to disturb
girls and women. Ain-O-Shalish Kendra (ASK), a human rights organization reveal that 14 girls
and women have taken their own lives over the past four months across the country for Eve
Teasing. In addition, a father and a daughter also committed suicide jointly in an incident
blamed by the authorities on Eve Teasing while police say three males who publicly protested
against the practice have been killed by stalkers over the past 12 weeks.

It is moral duty, social obligation and legal right to fight against Eve Teasing. Education Ministry
initiated with the declare 13 June as the Eve Teasing Protection Day, which is encouraged to
protect this social evil. But it must be removed at any cost.
The announcement reflects increasing concern over the worrying number of girls and women
who have recently committed suicide in the country to escape Eve teasing, a euphemism for
sexual harassment.
Figures released by the Ain-O-Shalish Kendra (ASK) human rights organisation reveal that 14
girls and women have taken their own lives over the past four months across the country as a
direct result of the insults.
In addition, a father and a daughter also committed suicide together in an incident blamed by
the authorities on Eve teasing. Police say three men who publicly protested against the
harassment have been killed over the past 12 weeks.
Very frightening
Critics argue that laws which should prohibit sexual harassment are so poorly drafted that victims
get virtually no help from the law enforcement agencies. Families of the victims are left feeling
hopeless and helpless.
Some victims find suicide is the only avenue that enables them to escape this social pandemic,
said Sultana Kamal, executive director of ASK.
The situation is very frightening. The suicides of 14 girls are an alarming sign of the times. If it is
not controlled, we women can no longer live in society with any dignity.
The tragic story of 13-year-old Nashfia Akhand Pinky known as Pinky shows just how
damaging Eve teasing can be.
Pinky was a ninth-grade student of a school only half a kilometre away from where she lived with
her uncle in central Dhaka.
On her way to school, she was stalked by her 22-year-old male neighbour and some of his
friends who, according to her family, persisted with ribald comments, smutty jokes, coarse
laughter, sly whistles and even indecent exposure.
The neighbour is alleged to have been stalking her for several months.
On 19 January, she went out of her house to buy some medicine for a niggling hand injury.
The neighbour and his friends blocked her way and made suggestive remarks. She became
angry and protested.
After that, he became more aggressive and bombarded her with crude language, pulling off her
scarf and slapping her face.

Pinky fell down on the street under a barrage of blows. Some neighbours apparently saw the
incident yet did not try to stop it or protest against it.
Ali Ashraf Akhand, Pinkys uncle, said that she suffered serious mental torment from this
indecent assault.
She could not tolerate the insult of it, he said, so she hanged herself with a sari scarf tied to a
ceiling fan in her drawing room.
Pinky informed me around 15 days before her suicide about the stalking by the neighbour. I tried
to warn him off but he became more predatory, Mr Akhand said.
His version of events seems to be borne out by a note Pinky wrote just before the suicide.
When [my tormentor] pulled my scarf and harassed me physically in front of the house,
onlookers at the scene laughed. Nobody protested. None of my family members are responsible
for my suicide.
Bangladesh police chief Nur Mohammad said that Pinkys case and others like them were a
cause for grave concern. He said harassment was a problem that urgently needed to be sorted
out.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said female students and female teachers are at present
not safe on streets or in schools.
That is no exaggeration. In some places, schools have been shut down and exams delayed
because of the problems caused by Eve teasing stalkers.
Those who are teased do not like to go to school and sometimes guardians do not allow them to
go to school for their safety and honour. So the drop-out rate of female students in many schools
is increasing, Mr Nahid said.
Another negative manifestation of the problem is the tendency of parents to push underage
daughters into early marriages so that they can escape Eve teasing. Parents think that if their
daughter has a husband, they will be saved from the dangers.
According to a daily newspaper, two girl committed suicide only in October 20It has become a
vicious cycle.
In the last 7 months there 4 girls were killed and 42 were injured. Well, this is just a ruff
measurement, which came across the peoples attention. There happened many occurrences like
this, which were not published in the newspaper. In most of the cases, the victims shy to exposes
these incidents.
Negative effects of eve-teasing in Bangladesh:

Eve-teasing has a great negative influence over the family, society and of course the country. The
demerits of eve-teasing are very clear to us. Many girls are committing suicide to save them from
the teasers. This is not only frightening but threatening as well.
Recently one Mother was killed to save her daughter from the eve-teasers. This is a real shame.
Many of Girls are feeling insecure to go the schools. As a result, the parents are not allowing the
girls to go to school or even outside of home. This is how the drop-out rate of female students is
increasing day by day. Not only this, the victim girl may lose his mental balance.
In most cases, girls are letting married in an early age. This underage marriage problem is also
increasing by this eve-teasing problem. The guardians assuming, their daughter will be safe and
fine with her husband. Basically the rate of illiterate people is high in Bangladesh. This illiteracy is
a curse in this modern era. The female illiteracy is higher toss. In this case, if this eve-teasing
problem exists for a long time, Bangladesh will let down from worse to worst in terms of female
education.
If the girls are getting married in an early age, they will probably having more babies, which will
make the population problem destructive.
So in a sense, it can be said that Eve-teasing may create more problems beyond our
expectation. The eve teasers are becoming more dangerous. They are willingly doing all these
and asking hazards in society. They seemed to be committed of doing anything they want in the
sake of their wish. These young teasers are turning out to be a terrorist in the coming days.

Evil effects of Eve teasing:

Girls are committing suicide.


Parents are afraid to send their daughter to school and college.
Drop-out rate is increasing.
Women empowerment is becoming difficult.
Unemployed women.
Early marriage of girls.
High population growth.
Increasing number of Rape and molestation.
Violence against women is becoming out of control.
The victim girl may lose his mental balance.
These young teasers are turning out to be a terrorist in the coming days.
Causes

Of

EVE-TEASING:

Recently EVE-TEASING causes to exist a fatal social problem which is being converted day by
day inevitable social disease in to the society. It is a ancient problem but it has been lighted
newly. EVE-TEASING is a social curse, which refers to using demeaning words, expression and
slangs that scatters for the female gender particularly those who are entitle, school, college and
universities going. It can, another words, be sexual harassment to the opposite genders and
mentality and physically torture on the female students and female office workers. The
consequence of every days EVE-TEASING leads to self-devotion or death.
kind of vex among the girls students due to the over use of the modern technology which
employed by EVE-TEASER. For example, making sort video film and other off Sean images
recorded by the eve teaser and spreading it in the various website in the internet. When the
recorded video of the girl will be watched by everybody then can not go out side freely and
ultimately will be self-killed from to live of sham of EVE-TEASING. Refusal social system and
paltry minded of male genders display evil-eyes to the female genders which has been influence
into

the

youth

society,

other

causes

of

EVE-TEASING.

The government has took a step against the eve-teaser and has started judge by mobile court,
sending to locker and demanding money yet social revolution should be made by the media for
opposed the EVE-TEASING and will be assumed which are good to society. Same time will be
increased activity about the EVE-TEASING between whose are living in society. If we can not
resist it, that we can not free from the problem.
Why does it happen?
Teenage boys, rickshaw-puller, bus driver, vendors, traffic police and colleagues at work are
generally those who engage in stalking and eve teasing. Dr. Rokeya Begum the chairperson of

the association foe clinical psychology, contends the offender consider eve teasing as fun. Some
think there is nothing wrong with staring at a girl. They do not realize how much it frightens or
hurts a girl or a woman who is being stared at. Verbal abuse and public humiliation goes even
deeper. It brews a storm of anguish inside the victim that assails upon the entire world. Mahbuba
Nasrin, professor of Social Science of the Dhaka University, would like to blame it on social and
political unrest in the country. She points at the lack of education, religious values and discipline,
which coupled with unemployment and poverty creates a fertile ground for the growing menace of
eve teasing. She also held rampant social discrimination against women accountable for their ill
treatment in the hands of men.
The Psychology of Eve Teasing:
Many of them grow up in houses where moral values are not encouraged. Nedless to say, the
psychodynamics of eve teasing are closely linked to the issue of masculinity and the masculine
agenda. To say it in simpler terms, masculinity is viewed not so much as a set of emotion or
behavioral characteristics but as hierarchical dominant over the feminine genders. Eve teasing is
obviously a rite of passage for boys on their way to manhood. Gender segregation from
childhood, lopsided parental relationships as well as the representation of man-woman
relationship in literature and popular cinema inculcate and reinforce the patriarchal model of
masculinity in the mind of the growing male child. Perumal finds it interesting that in his country
the mother figure is generally deified, yet the growing male child does not learn to respect the
members of his mothers gender.
Another angle toit is that the vocal emergence of feminism brings additional complexity to the
male psychology. He feel pushed back, not only because the women are threating to encroach on
his male dominion, but also because he does not have any idea about how to counter that
encroachment. That uneasiness places him in an adversarial position leading to ill treatment of
the opposite sex.
This flabbergasted male figure therefore looks an arena to express his valor, and he acts out his
dominant role on street corners, roadside, marketplace, and in front of girl school or colleges. It
could not be easier to establish his dominant role when standing with peers,
Eve teasing: Combat the scoundrel
SURVEYING the newspapers over the last few montshs we must have to be shocked realising
the unprecedented rate of suicide cases among the young girls due to eve teasing. As reported in
the newspapers in the recent past Nurina, Elora, Simi, Trisha, Tonni, Swapna, Tithi, Rumi
committed suicide to escape the cruelty of stalkers repression. Over the last four months, as

reported in The Daily Star, fourteen girls, due to repression of stalkers, opted for ultimate destiny
of their lives finding no other alternatives.
Apart from suicide, one statistics has revealed that during January-July 2008 period only, about
13,000 women became victims of eve teasing of different forms across the country. This figure
counted only the reported cases. Many occurrences remain unreported as the majority of the
victims of eve teasing prefer to ignore this out of fear or not to be disgraced or part of a social
gossip. The situation has become so alarming that, in general, it can be argued that at present
no girl has been spared from being a victim of eve teasing in one form or another.
Eminent sociologist Pratikha Baxi of India has stated, Eve teasing is a euphemistic expression
that lives in post-colonial India and refers largely to sexual harassment of women in public
spaces, thereby constituting women as eves, temptresses who provoke men into states of
sexual titillation. This popular perception of sexual harassment posits the phenomenon as a joke
where women are both a tease and deserve to be teased. Considered a growing problem
throughout the subcontinent, eve teasing ranges in severity from sexually-coloured remarks to
outright groping.
Eve teasing begins as an attempt to irritate a girl or catch her attention A lewd stare, a sly whistle,
a well-timed clap, an unwarranted bump, a seemingly causal touch, a lingering look at a
vulnerable time, the humming of suggestive song, passing downright uncouth comments, cheap
gestures, display of indecent snaps or videos, giving unwelcome call or missed call, sending
indecent texts ., all these are typical examples of eve teasing.
Although the term eve teasing originates from India, in recent times, this vice has spread over all
the sub-continental countries. Perhaps, Indias scenario in this context is the worst and so it has
initiated a number of steps to combat this social menace. Eve teasing was not that acute problem
in Bangladesh till 1980s. However, from 1980s, when girls and women, especially at rural areas
started going out for education and employment at a large scale, eve teasing with its sharp jaws
has started to pollute our social fabric.
Eve teasing might seem harmless fun to some, but gets the nerve of the victims. The severe
impact of eve teasing is taking away the lives of young girls as Bangladesh has witnessed
recently. Based on empirical study (2008) the Hunger Project has identified some impacts of eve
teasing in the society of rural Bangladesh. These are:
a) Curtailed education: Sexual harassment increases girls drop-out rate from school. Parents
concerned about their daughters honour or safety sometimes keep their daughters home and/or
marry them off at an early age. b) Early marriage: Girls who are teased or harassed are also
pushed into marriage, before they are physically or mentally prepared.

d) Hindered development: Eve teasing contributes to maintaining the low status of women. It also
hinders women in participating in the formal employment sector. As nearly half of the population
of the country are women, for the economic development of the country their participation in
employment is a must.
Considering the above, as conscious citizens, we should initiate some effective measures to
encounter this gender biased social menace. But prior to this, we need to unmask the causes of
eve teasing. Who get involved in eve teasing and why? One statistics suggests, 32% of the eve
teasers are students, 35% are anti-socials while 33% are middle-aged men.
So, the spectrum of eve teasers are very wide starting from teenagers to middle-aged men, either
illiterate or educated. Psychologists and social scientists suggest eve teasing to be a result of the
frustration suffered by a majority of youth. Disappointed by the unbecoming attitude of teachers
and indifferent parents, they yearn for an outlet to vent their aggression and depression.
Moreover, those who do not inherit good values involve in acts of sexual harassment.
In a male dominant society like ours, the concept of masculinity is usually equated with
patriarchy. So, eve teasing can be viewed as a rite of passage for boys on their way to becoming
men. Considering that sex is not the only motive, it would be reasonable to conclude the
psychodynamics of eve teasing are closely associated with the issue of masculinity and the
masculine agenda. Gender segregation from the childhood and the domination of the male
members in a family over the female members contribute much to reinforcing the patriarchal
model of masculinity in the society.
To the society, in general, being male signifies powerful, while the female is always a second
sex or weaker one.
Electronic media, especially some movies (both Hindi and Bengali) may be blamed for
propagating eve teasing. Many movies depict scenes of teasing, showing this behaviour as a way
to win a womans heart. Others show this as a behaviour for men indulged in some fun, at a
womans expense of course.
Sometimes, women are blamed for alluring eve teasers by their seductive dresses or makeups. But the reality is, the majority girls who become the prey of eve teasers are from rural areas
and they are more conservative in wearing dresses compared with their counterparts in the urban
areas. Even in Pakistan rural women in strict purdah are not escaped from the harassment of
the eve teasers. In a recently held discussion on eve teasing, alleged war criminal and the apex
leader of Jamaat Motiur Rahman Nizami has blamed women as they go out at night time. What
an audacity! Limiting the movement of womenfolk goes against the essence of our constitution as
it has ensured both the genders indiscriminately to move freely.

In our country, yet now there is no strict law that can effectively curb eve teasing. Article 76 of the
Dhaka Metropolitan Police Ordinance 1976 of the Penal Code of 1860 affirms that any acts,
conducts or verbal abuses that are used to disgrace women are punishable by law. However,
these provisions seem minor compared with the crimes they commit.
Recently, the government is planning to introduce a strict law against eve teasing. No doubt, this
is a timely step to move forward. However, if we consider the case of India, we may assert that
law alone cannot eliminate this social vice.
Considering eve teasing as a serious crime, some states in India have introduced stringent laws.
However, this did not work well as there was no step adopted there to launch any social
movement against this. So, if we want to reduce this crime, we must launch a social movement
against this in addition to introducing punitive legal measures.
First of all we need to reduce the gender segregation in the society so that children of both
genders can know each other well. In a family, children of both sexes should be given equal
emphasise. We also need to formulate a mass awareness programme in this context. Media,
NGOs and other social organisations may play pivotal role in this respect. Besides, the
government should also initiate special projects focussing school/college students with a view to
increasing awareness about and against eve teasing. However, all the steps will be futile unless
the male segment of the society change its patriarchal mindset

Eve teasing was started in Bangladesh long time ago. But this was not that much severe issue at
that time. Even though the people of this country were not educated at that time, they shared a
basic social and moral value which they believed in, which prevented them from doing this.
Another important thing to notice is that, at that time, girls were given marriage at their early age
at which the eve teasing occurs..

A human rights organisation reported 14 girls and women having taken their own lives over the
past four months across the country as a consequence of eve teasing. In addition, a father and
daughter also committed suicide together in an incident blamed by the authorities on eve teasing.
Police sources say that three men, who publicly protested against the harassment, have been
killed over the past 12 weeks. This last revelation alone goes to show the power and daring of the

Eve teasing is a traumatic experience. It can leave deep psychological scars and has negative
consequences for the greater community. Parents, who are concerned about their daughters
honour or safety, sometimes keep them home from school and/or marry them off at an early age.
While Bangladesh has declared sexual harassment illegal, state interventions have been
inadequate in stopping this grave malaise to date. It is a shame for the country that such inhuman
repressions on the vulnerable female part of the population can go on, largely unpunished and
uncontrolled, year after year.
Though eve teasing has a long and painful history in the country, such incidents do seem to have
risen alarmingly in recent times. Youngsters, who may think that they are virtually immune due to
their claimed powerful connection, are mostly engaging in such acts. Thus, it is imperative that
the political authorities in the government should see the need of removing such impressions,
real or perceived.
Laws do exist for prevention of repression of women and children and they allow for tough
penalties. But there are gaps in the laws and their interpretation and application that often allow
the street Romeos to use the loopholes of the laws to escape appropriate punishment for eve
teasing. A new law expressly defining eve teasing and prescribing tougher penalties needs to be
enacted. The operation of such a law and its rigorous enforcement should aim at extending
justice to the sufferers. Its deterrent value should also be considerable. asing when one side

Hypothesis of the problem
Hypothesis of the problem: A large Part of young generation has gone at the verge of astray now
a days. Following might be the problem causes behind this suffocation situation for the whole
civilization.

Exotic Culture achieved from abroad (in is miserable that we usually copy the bad things)

Depression

Lack of social and family bondage

Unemployment, the stalkers brain are the Devils asylum

Negligence from and of the family

Bad associations

Dominating mentally over the physically weaker sex

Satellite and Mobile culture

Political involvement and abuse of power

Detachment from the family.

Ignorant and defying of the law.

Lack of respect upon the opposite sex.

This heinous attitude towards female sect should be prevented from the family from the
beginning
-Laws against eve teasing which has not effective apply.
-police prefers bribe.
Alternative hypothesis
1. Political involvement and abuse of power is a good reason because the eve teasers are the
supporter of political parties for which they do not care laws.
2. Maximum times victims do not expect help from police because police does not help them
without money or bribe.
3. Laws against eve teasing which has not effective apply. It also inspires eve teasers more.
4. Lack of family bondage
5. Mobil culture is new way but not a good reason
Solution of this problem
1. Girls should avoid wearing provocative dresses if going to a crowded neighborhood.
2. When we established faith and respect to others.
3. When we fulfill the fundamental demand to all citizen.
4. Remove addiction from our society and developing our living style.
5. Imposing proper law against this social problem.
6. 100% reservation for boys in all schools and colleges.
7. Ban girls from all public places markets, train stations, airports, hospitals, you name it
where they may encounter ogling boys.

8. All girls shall be forcibly married before they reach puberty, and thereafter stay home and
make rotis.
9. Cover the girls from head to toe with burqua, and give them free iPods.
10. Make breast ironing compulsory for all pubescent girls.
Protect or Remove the Eve-Teasing Problem
Eve teasing is an internal problem of Bangladesh. People need to know about the demerits of
Eve teasing. Thus we need to raise our consciousness among the general people. The people
also need to change their mind a bit. We always had a negative mind set for the girls. I dont
know why, but many of us are not ready to accept the equality between a girl and a boy. It has
been advertising and making people belief that there are no difference between a girl and a boy.
But the reality will disappoint you completely. There is a long distance between reality and what is
publishing. Still we specially the boys are not ready to be beaten by a girl. Even if a girl wins
legally we deny it every time. Thats why I said we need to change our view on girls. We must see
them as a human being. We must credit them if they deserve. We must believe a girl can do as
much as a boy can do. To do so, to change our view, we need people to be informed about that.
As the eve teasing problem is staring from schools, colleges or universities, we need to protest
this problem from the educations institutes. We have to make sure these educational institutes
are free from eve teasers.
Even just 2 months ago, Eve Teasing was a hot topic in Bangladesh. This problem paid the
attention of Education Minister too. The daily Newspapers were publishing all these news as the
headline those days. Committees were made, organizations were active. Even girls were out
taking banners and protesting against the problem in roads or schools, which was very
promising. Its their problem and they should play the vital role. By saying that I did not mean
boys have nothing to do. Overall, all of us should be protesting against this problem being in our
own places. But if the girls become more attentive of their rights, this problem will be solved
quickly.
We need to investigate if there were any political interferes too. I saw some RABs and Policemen
are catching the teasers and punishing them instantly. This is a good move from the Govt. It is
expected; the teaser will be embarrassed and keep himself away from Eve Teasing in rest of his
life. At the same time, there should be some accurate and proper laws against these crimes. As
we have already seen, this problem is causing suicide and killing, so we should pay extra
attention on that issue.

At the same time, if we can remove this problem, we will get our young generation back in their
business. The will think positively and will be interested to do positive works for the society. The
girls also should not try to blackmail any boys with this matter.
A helpful mind from both Boys and Girls will help us to get rid of Eve Teasing problem.
