Eve teasing

S M Sami, Sociology dept, RU
Panic seized me while going through the report in the daily Prothom Alo (on 27th January)-- one Munmun from Joypurhat committed suicide because of eve teasing. Before that Simi, Rumi, Liza fell victim to this menace. When Munmun's parents sat beside her dead body, these hoodlums were beside themselves with joy to see that pathetic sight. Similarly, hundreds of thousands of parents all over the country feel obliged not to allow their daughters to go to school or college. Eve teasing has become a serious problem that must be addressed immediately to save the poor girls facing it.
