The term ‘Eve-teasing’, which discusses to public acts of sexual harassment, whistling, passing explicit comments, singing lewd songs, and unsuitable touching. We know that women and girls are often embattled in this way when walking to find a place to find to use as a toilet. Many women endeavour out in the dark to diminish their chances of being seen, so they are alone and helpless in an empty place. It would be wrong, but, to assume that assault is something that only happens in inaccessible areas; it is, in fact, the public nature of eve-teasing and how it is openly mentioned to that deepens its controversy.The phrase ‘eve-teasing’ causes argument because, while there may be changing degrees and forms of sexual harassment, every instance has roots in violence and infringement and the way we talk about harassment should reflect this. In the present climate, we are opening to interrogate phrases such as ‘locker room talk’, which masks depreciating objectification of women with carefree, flippant language. This is something we must continue to do, as language is administratively and traditionally determined.The current discussion about sexual harassment is reaching all corners of the globe.The complications faced by women in India have become a greater part of the national story since the terrible rape case in Delhi in 2012. Studies are thin and measurement methods vary, ‘eve teasing’ is thought to be very common with 50% to 100% of women reporting harassment. The daily threat of ‘eve-teasing’ is often enough to restrain women and girls’ contribution in public, as this is generally an activity that takes place in broad dayl ight. It is clear that sexual harassment penetrates countless walks of life and is abundant in institutions and societies all around the world. While progress has been made, sexual abuse and harassment are almost always tied up with deeply held cultural beliefs, customs, and ideologies. While the act of pull to pieces such ideologies will be a wide-ranging, time-consuming process, we can begin by considering the language we use to describe such violent acts. The phrase ‘eve-teasing’ is a perfect example of a deeply insufficient euphemism. To ‘tease’ somebody does not indicate violence. To ‘tease’ somebody is a relatively tame action, expressive of childhood games and unkind, immature jokes. Surely this is not a satisfactory description of a form of abuse. The word ‘eve’ refers to the theological story of Adam and Eve, in which Eve excites Adam to stray from the path of decency. One commonly recognized aspect of ‘eve-teasing’ is that the girl should put up with this behaviour and ignore it, especially in cases where there is no physical injury. We all know that it is a lot easier to ignore something if it is widely treated as being unavoidable and unimportant. The ways in which an action is supposed often comes down to how we choose to label it; language determines the severity and regulates how an act is understood and internalized within society. ‘Eve-teasing’ is a communal act, played out on a public stage, and we now need to change the public dialogue that surrounds it.Every day we get nearly 9-10 cases of molestation and sexual assault from women. We have entered 2017, yet many girls are ignorant of their rights or how to fight this danger. A lot of them call us to ask about their legal rights, but don’t follow the case because of awkwardness. Girls must come forward to fight this threat together”. We, on a unvarying basis, either see men harassing a woman, or experience the same ourselves. But we are too scared to report the matter to the police, and the culprits get away easily. It is high time that girls arise out in the open and use the laws delivered to help them. Actions have been happening for too long in our society. They will last to be predominant, unless women step up and become smart, alert, and safe. The best way to fight eve teasing and molestation is to stay alert. Every time follow your instinct. Eve teasing cases are not easy to prove, so try to fold as much as evidence you can. Try to get a lot of witnesses possible, as it makes the case easier to win. You should always report the matter to the nearest police station to have a compact and powerful case. Yet you can register an FIR for molestation up to three years later, you should record it quickly.
Here are some sections of the Criminal Procedure Code one should permanently keep in mind that will help and help in getting justice:

  • Section 294: This section gives protection to a girl from men who irritate her by obligating any act of rudeness in public.
    This offence is a bail able one, but the punishment is for a maximum period of three months.
  • Section 354: This section deals with the crime popularly known as molestation. Section 354 applies when the acts of the suspect go beyond causing insult or irritation to the diffidence of a woman, and there is a clear danger of physical harm to her, which also shocks the wisdom of modesty. It is a non-bail-able offence, and the term for captivity extends from 1-5 years. So if a man tries to touch or feel a woman, he can be charged under this section.
