Eve teasing stands for a kind of sexual harassment of a young woman. At present it has become a big problem in Bangladesh. Most of the girls can not walk on the streets without being teased by an opposite sex. Many girls committed suicide as a result of eve teasing. Many female students stopped their studies and even going outdoors. It is a horrible scenario in Bangladesh. When we study the causes behind the occurrences of eve teasing in Bangladesh, we find several reasons. Lack of religious education, unmindful about religion, open sky culture, absence of family educations etc. have big role in creating this problem in our society. We observe that many places in Bangladesh like streets, shopping malls, schools, colleges, universities, offices, entertainment spots are not safe for a woman especially young girl. Studies have shown that eve teasers are school students, college students, university students, jobless young man, rickshaw pullers, street traders, bus drivers, bus conductors, labors, security guards etc are involved in eve-teasing. Young and adult, rich and poor, educated or uneducated all classes are involved in this heinous act. The victims are also from various classes like factory workers, domestic workers, students and high class professional women. Eve teasers frequently undergo passing vulgar comments, unnecessary touching, pushing and shoving in the streets and mostly in public transports. Other women are frequently harassed at workplaces by male supervisors, colleagues or bosses. Arrangement of moral and religious education in educational and religious institutions, creating employment for the unemployed young man, introducing and enacting strict laws against teasers can play a great role in making society get rid of eve-teasing.
