It means to excite girls with unpleasant questions, annoyance, and irritation, ambling limbs and by creating blockade on the way without showing any courtesy. This immoral activity is unfortunately on the increase in our country.

Though, we are one of the fastest-growing countries in the world we have not ensured the safety of working women and students. Eve teasing is a huge issue in many metropolitan cities of Bangladesh.

If a boy finds in cinema or drama an eve teaser a hero, then he is encouraged to involve with eve-teasing.

To stop eve-teasing education system must be premeditated at a younger age. Parents' role is very significant. They should keep their children from bad influences. Parents must educate their children 'what to' or 'what not to watch. They should adopt friendly relations with their children rather than being harsh with them. Teachers must play their role to repeat moral teachings in the young minds in a more rational and modern way. The boys should respect the opposite sex, as morality demands it. adding that they should not be unaware of the fact that they have families too. The parents should put utmost trust in their daughters, for this trust will give them the confidence to face the eve-teasers bravely and not to be frightened by them. Overall the most important is the of the women themselves. They should protest strongly against such boys otherwise consciousness nobody can do anything against such eve-teasers.
Eve teasing must be stopped. Women deserve respect. Men and women are equal. Our lack of consciousness has led to the loss of many lives. But we don't want any more lives to say goodbye to this world. Women have the right to live freely in the world. Independence is their birthright. They have the right to lead their lives as males. The family and society should support them mentally. So as the govt. must take things seriously. The country wants both of them to be active in such issues.
