Modest dress
Two letters appeared on 30 June on this very important and sensitive subject. Not for any religious edict or guidance, but just as a survival technique it is true that simple modesty like covering the hair while going out on daily work or attending an educational establishment will identify a young woman as modest and she is very unlikely to be a victim of eve teasing.
For young men the problem seems to be a medical one in that there is too much testosterone in their blood streams which moral education alone will not diminish. They need to change their diet to have couple of meat-free (or generally protein free), vegetable diet days per week in a country with abundant vegetables and fruit. This will be also healthy and eco friendly and will conserve the country's resources. I distinctly remember during Pakistan days of Ayub Khan there was a vegetarian day in the week when meat was not available in the market by law.
