Eve teasing is a euphemism used throughout South Asia, which includes (but is not limited to) India,[1][2] Pakistan,[3] Bangladesh[4] and Nepal,[5]for public sexual harassment or sexual assault of women by men, the name "Eve" alluding to the very first woman, according to the Biblical creation story.[6] Considered a problem related to delinquency in youth,[7] it is a form of sexual aggression that ranges in severity from sexually suggestive remarks, brushing in public places and catcalls, to groping.[8][9][10] The Indian National Commission for Women has suggested that the expression be replaced by a more appropriate term.[11] According to them, considering the semantic roots of the term in Indian English, Eve teasing refers to the temptress nature of Eve, placing responsibility on the woman as a tease.[12]Teasing the girls, passing comment on them, harassing them, troubling them purposely is called 'eve teasing.'
Sexual harassment by strangers, as with any type of harassment, has been a notoriously difficult crime to prove, as perpetrators often devise discreet ways to harass women, although Eve teasing usually occurs in public spaces and streets and on public transport.[13] Some guidebooks to the region warn female tourists to avoid attracting the attention of these kinds of men by wearing conservative clothing.[14][15]However, this harassment is reported both by Indian women and by conservatively dressed foreign women.[16]
