see,exprience-write!! (social evils)

well, problem and expriences by one forces him/her to write. write on the social setup and the social problems people face. from last 2 months i am noticing a a new type of social problem for me.it is not new but earlier i never noticed it or knew much about it. the issue that i am going to discuss today is road teasing or generally what we call eve teasing!
well, at this point we all knew what road teasing actually is! my main motive here is not to tell what is road teasing or how it happens but to go down the root of cause and find its solutions.
                                                                     on my research done on girls at my coaching center (that generally come by their own convenience all alone ). to my surprise out of 20 girls i researched, not a single was there who can speak that she was not harassed at road in one or the other form !
road teasing generally includes vulgar comments, mental or physical harassment by the boys/men.and this evil is like dowry system or female  foeticide  and, is creating a big hinderence in growth and development of girls.
      if female foeticide is the root evil.then eve teasing and dowry system are the main sub evils that follow it. as for instance if girl is water and dam is the female foeticide (it blocks water,llly female foeticide blocks birth of girl) then eve teasing and dowry system are big canals in the way of water! until and unless these hindrances are not removed the water cannot reach its destination. either these hindrances we have to remove or the water had to overflow!
and to come out of it there are 2 options. either girls had to be strong or this evil have to be permanently removed !but this is also the point the girls are physically not as stronger as boys. they can be strong mentally, but what if the water overflows ones head?  and one cant fight the adversities all alone. its not the matter of one but the repeating stories for all girls!
and this evil needs a quick action and eradicate it from society.while going through various websites to find solution for eve teasing from http://www.squidoo.com/eve-teasing the following points :-
  Do not move in a deserted area- It can be harmful to move in deserted area, as there is few people to help. So it is better to avoid go in deserted places alone.

- Always have some weapon or Chilly Powder in your purse- Here weapon means not arms. It can be small knife or scissor. It is better to carry chilly powder in purse. If the teaser is trying to touch, we can spray it in their eyes.

- Always have police number and family's number in speed dial of cell phones- It is the most necessary thing. One must keep their family or friends number in always first dial call. So that they can be informed without wasting even a single second.

- Try to avoid parties and office at late night- Of course parties can be avoided, but what about the office. Some offices have night shifts. In this case, it is better to take office cab and if possible go home with friends in group. Even your own vehicle is not safe as anyone can chase and create nuisance.

- While walking on road, always beware of those behind you- Sometimes teasers follow you and tries to get an opportunity for deserted place. So beware who is behind you. If you feel someone is chasing you, you can stop and change your way or to call your family or friend or can take help of police.

These are only a few ways through which we can prevent eve-teasing. The worst lacuna of this problem is that it can be proved legally. So there are not many rules and regulations to stop it legally.even if they are they are not follwed Even then through our attention and awareness we can prevent it to some extent.
only to some extend............!!

to be continued ......
