Answer: Eve teasing, often known as "Sexual harassment", is a regular occurrence for the women and girls of Bangladesh. It is a malpractice of male person and it is inserted upon a female person physically and mentally with a bad intention in different ways. So, if any male person intends to insult the modesty of any female, utters any negative word, makes any sound or gesture or exhibits any object intending that such word shall be heard, or that such gesture or object shall be seen by that very woman is called eve teasing. Extremely restricted mentality and overly conservative attitude on sexuality provoke eve teasing. Lack of education is one of the causes of eve teasing. Lack of moral values and free exposure to ultra modern fashion also cause eve teasing. There are also some impacts of eve teasing. It increases girls' drop out rate from school. Girls who are teased are also pushed into marriage before they are physically or mentally prepared. Establishing human rights, empowering rural governance & ensuring gender parity could be the effective tools for removing this social curse. Education system must be modified in a way as to promote positive relationship between girls and boys, especially at younger age
