A large percentage of Indian women have faced or are facing this menace. Women find themselves vulnerable to the threat of eve teasing everywhere. When a social change was taking place in conservative India 60’s with women venturing out for work, the giant movement of women emancipation came with its own side effects and one of them was eve teasing.
Eve teasing keeps surfacing in different forms. Right from a flirtatious comment to street harassment and molestation, it can turn ruinous for women. The problem with our society norms is that passing a comment or staring at a girl isnt categorised as a criminal activity. Eve teasing is multifaceted problem and it requires attention
