Sexual Harassment
The phrase ‘Eve Teasing’ belittles the extent and enormity of the trauma that comes with acts of sexual violence and harassment. Any offensive behaviour that women experience - be it leering, whistling, sexual comments or vulgar gestures, touching, stalking, flashing to demanding sexual favours and sharing pornography against their will is sexual harassment. But institutionalised inequality and stubborn traditional gender roles keep women away from their right to agency and safety. Our society fosters and breeds a culture of abuse and we at Breakthrough won’t stand for it anymore. Are you with us?
