6. Statistics • In the past two years, at least 12 girls have committed suicide in circumstances stemming from “eve teasing”. • Between 2002 and 2009, there were over five thousand rape reported incidents. • Almost two thousand of those rapes were of girl children. • 625 of the victims were killed after they were raped and 69 killed themselves.

7. How to make the social awareness !! • A massive sustained campaign by women’s organizations highlighting this evil must be initiated. • Students in colleges must specifically be counseled. • Debates on this issue must be organized in colleges, TV shows, etc., with responsible moderators — who would listen and reason an argument instead of sounding outright biased. • Cinema is a powerful medium to showcase this issue.

8. Role of Parents in Stopping Eve Teasing • Parents should make girl child comfortable enough that she can share anything with them. • If a girl has been harassed or been subject to molestation, the first place she would expect to be understood is her parents. • Parents should pay close attention to their teenage son, his activities and his friend circle.
