How to Stop Women Abuse, Eve Teasing & Cyber Crime

The gender-based discrimination in the society is giving rise to the violence against women and girls. Everyday many women are facing the dirty comments, stares, unwelcome touch whenever they step out of the home. In every five minutes, a woman is sexually harassed. Every day women and girls have to contend with their life. The victim of eve-teasing can be anybody, of any age, anywhere and anytime. The perpetrator is mainly a man or a teen boy against a woman. Studies have shown that molestation and sexual harassment against women are still endemic. Even in many organizations women face the harassment. About 40-60% of working women face the antisocial behavior at the workplace. Lack of religious values, morality, ethics and disrespect of women are giving rise to the unsocial behavior in the society.
