Sub: Rising cases of eve-teasing in Delhi 

Sir,

Recently while travelling in a local bus I witnessed a case of eve-teasing which pained me a lot. 

Eve-teasing has posed a serious threat to the women of our society. There is hardly any girl or woman who has never been the target of eve-teasers. 

Bus stops, autorickshaw stands are the favourite haunts of the eve-teasers who seem to have no other business than passing lewd remarks on women who happen to pass by them. Eve-teasing is a crime. Women themselves must take the initiative to put an end to it. But women generally ignore the eve-teasers as they fear the evil consequences which might befall them in future. 

It is this fear of the women-folk which gives the eve-teasers the courage to pass objectionable comments on them.

Women are human beings and have equal rights to move freely in society like their male counterparts. Women should shed their fear and confront the eve-teasers boldly. This is the only way to teach a lesson to such culprits. 

Yours truly 

Janvi
