He comes out of his home and on the road he stares at girls, whistles at them, passes lewd remarks, in the bus he keeps his hand on the hand of unknown girls, purposefully stands in a way that all of his body touches theirs, and touches them without permission. Many times he crosses the limit and in crowded places he grabs or pinches breasts of ladies or other parts of their bodies.
He laughs these things off, he does this ‘just for fun’. “So what? I just had some fun with a girl; it’s not a rape or murder?”
At home, he has a mother, a wife, a sister and a daughter. Poor ladies, they don’t know that their own son/husband/brother/father, teases girls ‘for fun’ just like many men on road tease them. Every-single-day.
So are you victim, perpetrator or a mute spectator to eve teasing?

Its a sick thing – Eve teasing – and a difficult one to eradicate. The saddest part is that most people think that it was the victim was the one to blame either because of what she wore or something she did.
Funnily enuff the victims in most cases end up being the ones who are the modestly dressed.
This is a nice initiative but somehow dont agree with all their methods…

I am late here. But I would just like to add that I have smacked 2 guys who had grabbed me on two separate occasions. I think all women should start hitting back. That seems to be the only solution. These two guys just slinked away after I hit them. By remaining silent we are giving them ‘badhawa’. They think that they could get away with whatever they do. But we should hit back, scream, shout, do whatever it takes to get attention. This is important as many say that eve teasers are just inches away from becoming rapists.
