Eve Teasing
Eve teasing in recent days has become a great problem for
the common people. Most of the time
school and college going girls fall a victim to Eve-teasing. Three or four
teenager boy or even more grown up boys are seen standing at the corner of the
road. They wear strange fashionable dress and long hair. Some of them smoke.
When they see any young girl or women passing by, they pass comments towards
them. At this the girls or women feel very embarrassed and dishonored.
Eve-teasers even do not hesitate to tease the mother of a girl. As a result,
situation has become very difficult for girls. If anyone protests Eve-teasing, the
teasers become violent and threaten the person who protests. They even threaten
the girls to death or physical torture. In this regard, it is very difficult to
tolerate the situation. Girls are afraid
of going out. They even feel unsecured to go to schools and colleges. Government has become quite aware of stopping
this malpractice. Government has already empowered mobile courts to stop
eve-teasing. Anyone, convicted of harassment of stalking of women will face a year
in jail or a fine about 700 dollars or both. The mobile court has given
authority to give punishment to the eve-teasers at once. Education Ministry has
also initiated with the declaration
that 13 June as the Eve-Teasing Protection Day which is tinted with the
declaration that 13 June as the Eve-Teasing Protection Day which is urged to protect this social evil.
