How to make the social awareness !!

women’s organizations highlighting
this evil must be initiated.

Debates on this issue must be
organized in colleges, TV shows,
etc., with responsible moderators —
who would listen and reason an
argument instead of sounding
outright biased.
Cinema is a powerful medium to
showcase this issue.

Role of Parents in Stopping Eve Teasing
Parents should make girl child
comfortable enough that she
can share anything with them.
If a girl has been harassed or
been subject to molestation, the
first place she would expect to
be understood is her parents.
Parents should pay close
attention to their teenage son,
his activities and his friend
circle.
