But the people actually the male has a nature or habit of insulting female.

Respecting others, helping others and among them the way of showing love.4.Last but not the lest, our sense or thoughts towards women

May be there are also many issues that works behind eve teasing, so I can use etc. But its till a shame for us.At last, I want to say in a regretted mind that i am still looking for the proper steps to eradicate eve teasing. I will give you sound if i find them. Till then hope you are also looking for that. Isn’t it?

OUTCOME OF EVE TEASING There is several consequence of eve

teasing. It affects the women’s life horribly that the effected women should need to take the necessary steps for his life. Some of the consequences are given below.

1: Suicide: Suicide is the ultimate path for some woes. Like simian who was a student of the institute of fine Arts Bangladesh at Dhaka University was victim of the local boys regularly and choose the path of death by selecting suicide.

2: Lost the mind: Many girls lost their mind and go abnormal or cause mental disease from fast ration. After the victim she don’t go out from home and live in a nightmare of eve teasers, and then followed by depression and atlas lost their mind.

3: Early Marriage: In local village of Bangladesh the local school going girls, garments workers and college girls are victim of eve teasing, so the common scenario of their family is to give marriage of that girl. It also a reason of early marriage and pregnancy related death.

4: Reduce the mobility of the women: In fact, within the patriarchal social fabric, eve-teasing is a weapon to weaken, hurt or force women to consign to domestic affairs. It restricts women’s mobility in the public sphere, which contributes to their diminishing participation in outdoor activities.

5: Security: Given the strict patriarchal social system, it is almost daring for a woman to protest against teasing in public places. That may further endanger her security, on the one hand, and there is possibility that she herself will be held responsible for the incident. In our society, it is usually the girl who is finally held responsible for such incidents.

STEP WE SHOULD TAKE TO STOP EVE TEASING If you’re being followed: Nothing

psyches your follower as much as this: Just walk up to him and start yelling at the top your voice, without letting him gets a word in. Ask him for the name of his employer. Drop the ‘You don’t know who I am and who you’re messing with’ line. 

Walk in well-lit and frequented areas: Don’t walk through a dark, lonely street or you’re only inviting trouble. In a well lit area you’ll be able to see and avoid potential offenders. Be Street smart: Don’t daydream and don’t look lost – even if you are. Look as if you know exactly where you are going

Avoid potential harassers: If you see a group of men hanging out, or a man who’s making eye contact with you and trying to get your attention, take a detour. Better safe than sorry.

CONCLUSION Eve teasing is increasing in very alarming rate

in our country. We need to take a necessary step to prevent eve teasing from the root. We need to focus the prevention of eve teasing from the family. Everyday so many women are the victim of the eve teasing in several ways. Many of them commit suicide. So it takes the lives of the young girls and women’s. If people are more aware about it, if we can make the people believe that Eve teasing is a social crime this rate could be goes down.

STORIES ON EVE TEASING

Rinku Das, a 23-year-old call center employee in Kolkata, was returning by local train to her home in Barasat on the outskirts of the city. It was after dark and as usual, her 16-year-old brother, Rajib, was waiting with his bicycle to escort her home. A group of drunk men started making lewd comments. Rinku asked her brother to pedal faster. But they were not quick enough. One of the men caught up with her and grabbed the handlebars of the bicycle. 

. He pulled her off the bike and sprinkled alcohol all over her. The brother tried to stop them, and they started beating him up, saying: “Oh are you a big shot gangster now? Show us your gun then.” 

That’s when the story takes its most horrific turn. Rinku ran screaming for help to the District Magistrate’s bungalow nearby. The armed guards standing at the gate refused to leave their posts. They gave her the phone number of the police station

By the time Rinku ran back, a passerby in a cycle rickshaw had picked up her brother, who was lying bleeding by the side of the road. He died the next morning.

The image that sticks with me about the Rinku Das story is of a young woman coming home from work versus a group of men, probably unemployed, who spend their days getting high on cheap liquor and cough syrup.
