| Article Name : | | | EVE-TEASING AND ITS AGGRAVATED FORM, SEXUAL HARRASMENT OF WORKING WOMEN IN INDIA | | Author Name : | | | OMDUTT | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-2305 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Sexual harassment and eve-teasing are treated as low priority offences. The term eve-teasing is itself revealing in its indulgent overtones. It seeks to trivialise a very serious issue. We find women being insulted almost everyday, everywhere and every time. It is almost a torture for a woman to walk along on the road. Section 354 IPC deals with acts that outrage the modesty of a woman and punishes perpetration of this crime with fine and imprisonment but even small girls of tends age are victims of this crime. Recently such a crime was committed on a baby girl barely seven and half months old. | | Keywords : | | |
