At present Eve-Teasing has become one of the most talked topics across the country. The very term ―Eve Teasing‖ consists (গঠিত )of two words  Eve and Teasing in which Eve represents (প্রতিনিধিত্ব) girls or women folk (নারী লোক বোঝাতে)and Teasing represents disturbance. So Eve-Teasing‘ means to disturb the girls or women intentionally (ইচ্ছাকৃতভাবে)through vulgar words(অশ্লীল শব্দ মাধ্যমে), impolite comments (বিব্রত মন্তব্য),teasing stares, sly whistles, unethical love offers (অনৈতিক প্রেম প্রস্তাব) ,unpolished gestures(অসম্পূর্ণ অঙ্গভঙ্গি ),sexual offers and so on. Even the disturbance to girls through mobile phone or internet is also regarded as eve-teasing. The young girls are the worst sufferers of eve-teasing. There are several reasons behind eve-teasing and they are: negative attitude towards girls, moral degradation, impact of satellite television, gender discrimination, lack of proper 

education, religious misinterpretation, unemployment problem etc. The consequences(পরিণতি)of eve-teasing are very dreadful. It becomes a great barrier(বাধা) to the participation of women in our nation-building activities. Women cannot think, move and work freely in the society due to eve-teasing. The girls cannot go to school or college. As a result, their education is hampered and often stopped. Very often they are assaulted (আক্সমনের শিকার)by the eve-teasers. Even the guardians are attacked and killed by the eve-teasers in some cases. The girls often go to commit suicide to save themselves from the disturbance of the eve-teasers. The recent news regarding eve-teasing in different media bears testimony to this. In fact, eve-teasing is a great social vice. It should be removed from our society at any cost. Public awareness and social movement are necessary to uproot this vice. New strict and pragmatic law should be introduced and enforced immediately. The present government has introduced mobile court to punish the eve-teasers and they are being punished in different parts of our country. Besides, the 13th June has been designated ―Eve Teasing Protection Day‖ by the Ministry of Education in Bangladesh. However, we all should come forward to stop eve-teasing for building up a nice society.
