People see free sex,free mixing of men and women via various television programmes, internet etc.and they try to do same things which caused eve-teasing. Obscene cinema and drama sometimes encourage eve-teasing. If a boy finds in cinema or drama an eve teaser a hero,then he is encouraged to involve with eve-teasing. Computers and mobiles have become mobile cinema house with free call,free talk time, free SMS. Without showing his identify a man can make friendship with opposite sex,and this kind of friendship causes a lot eve-teasing.

• 3.Absence of Law is a great factor

• 4.There are some Laws to prevent eve-teasing but they are not enough and the implementation of these laws is difficult due to procedural complexity, political influence.

5.Uninterrupted alcoholism and drug addiction is a great cause of eve-teasing. When a man devours intoxicating materials, he loses his conscience and that time he can do any baf things like eve-teasing.

6.Unemployed people are evil doers and engaged in eve-teasing. When a man has no work to do he becomes a devil and only for spending his time he does eve-teasing.

Solution for stoping Eve-teasing

1.To stop eve-teasing education system must be premeditated at younger age.

2.Parents role is very important. They should keep their children from bad influences. Parents must educate their children 'what to' or 'what not to' watch. They should adopt friendly relations with their children rather than being harsh with them.

3.Teachers must play their role to repeat the opposite sex,as morality demands it, adding that they shouldn’t be unaware to the fact that they have families too.

4.The parents should put utmost trust in their daughters, for this trust will give them the confidence to face the eve teasers bravely and not to be frightened by them.

5.Overall the most important is the consciousness of the women themselves. They should protest strongly against such boys otherwise nobody can do anything against such eve teasers.

Eve-teasing must be stopped. Women deserve respect. Men and women are equal. Our lack of consciousness has led to a loss of many lives.But we didn’t want any more to say goodbye this world. Women have the right to live freely in the world. Independence is their birth right. They have the right to lead their lives as males. The family and society should support them mentally. So as the govt. must take things seriously. The country wants both of them to be active in such issue.
