Had the opportunity of attending a Seminar at the Main Campus, chaired by our Chairman Sir and VC Sir. It was aimed at making clear that no issues of Eve Teasing or any such harassment issues will be tolerated in and around our University Campuses. Let us all be aware, be it a female or a male student/employee/faculty/administrative official, never feel hesitant to raise your complaint.
For Uttara Campus, you guys can directly contact with any of us Faculties, with Diljeb Kabir Bhai or even our Academic Coordinator Prof. Dr. Abul Hossain Sir. You can also contact with our Assistant Registrar Kamrun Nahar Ma'm or even communicate with Chairman Sir as well.
We will keep your identity secret and take initiatives to punish the harasser with accordance.
Let us all be respectful of others, as well as uphold ourselves in such a way that no one can have the chance of becoming an oppressor.
Thanks a tonne guys, Love you all. :)

Madam, I appreciate your point especially when you wrote: be it a female or a male student/employee/faculty/administrative official, never feel hesitant to raise your complaint. Thanks again for raising the timely concern..
-
yes shibli bhai your complement really appreciable further when we are trying for becoming a human rather than man or woman in this beautiful world. My salute to the authority and the mam too without delay.
I am sure we are growing with humanitarian qualities together at DIU considering every moment as a part of our living history.
Cheers!

Thanks madam for your appreciable comments.
The way an eve teaser can be caught is if passers by who witness him indulging in such an act react. Every person caught eve teasing should be dealt with in all harshness and there should not be any lenience for first time offenders. The best way to prevent inflexible eve teasers who experiment is to produce them before their family and unmask their true instincts. The sense of shame will ensure that they never resort to such a thing again and further this will serve as a severe warning for others who even think of indulging in it.

Who are mainly responsible for eve teasing? Yes, it is the male. But have you ever thought deeply about the root causes of eve teasing?
1. Misuse of internet and the influence of satellite channels have made some boys of this generation perverted and aggressive and changed the mentality of the girls. Some girls are more desperate than ever before in dress-up, get-up and attitude.
2. Parents are responsible for not being able to inculcate values and ethics in their children. Some parents are too busy to give even a single minute for their sons and daughters.
Our duties:
1. Free-mixing DANCES/Programs mingling with boys and girls in the name of DJ party and others must be stopped.
2. Parents should take care of their children where and with whom their children are passing time. They must not allow them to spend nights in friends' houses without dire emergency lest their sons and daughters might be spoiled.
3. Parents whose children are living in hostels and halls should be extra cautious about their children. Many of the boys and girls whose parents live far away go to the astray due to bad company.
4. We cannot stop eve teasing by punishment. Only punishment is a wrong strategy to overcome this common phenomenon. Awareness should be created. Girls should be encouraged to wear decent dress-up. They must be taught not to allow any boys to touch them. It is commonly observed that some girls of this generation touch and embrace boys (their class mates) in the first place, but when the boys take advantage of this attitude, girls file objection against it. Many girls openly touch their boy classmates' hands, arms, thighs, heads, hairs, necks, body but the problem arises when their counterparts (boys) do the same to them.
On the other hand, boys should be instructed to respect girls because it is, because of them, we have seen the light of the earth.
Hope everybody will think about my observation deeply.

Thanks to all to have their valuable comment & thoughts about EVE TEASING.
And A big yes to Mr. Shibli Sir about what he has sheared in his recent post. The reasons that he mentioned is really the original scenario now a days. Yes!!!! boys has the misdeeds about this regards. But I also must say about the GIRLS side also. They need to change their attitude, behavior, dress sense & must control executions about western & the outsider culture. Because this is BANGLADESH. And here, the culture don't match the same.
If girls takes the great role to prevent the issue, I think this topic will have its demolition. So strongly agree with what Mr. shibli sir posted.
Thank you. Please share your own thoughts & feelings about it. If I've posted anything wrong, please do inform me.

Sajib
Boys, as part of male-dominating society, are mainly responsible for this heinous deed, but girls should stop instigating the crime. Parents and peer group should come forward to instruct behavior therapy.

Yes sir......I do agree! This is just we need to do.
Thank you.

One day we all have to stand before the Almighty and be accountable for our deeds and our verdicts given....
English translation “O Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters, and the believing women that they should cast their outer garments over their body (when outside home); that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molestated. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful†(Quran 33:59)
“ And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty;that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s fathers, their sons…†(Al-Quran 24:31)
Hijab in Christianity
Deuteronomy 22:5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man; neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abominations unto the LORD thy God.
I Timothy 2:9
And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.
I Corinthians 11:5-6
But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
Hijab in Hinduism
Rig Veda Book no. 8 Hymn no. 33 V. no. 19:
“When Brahma has made you a woman, you should lower your gaze and should not look up. You should put your feet together and you should not reveal what the garment and the veil conceals.â€
Rig Veda Book no. 10 Hymn no. 85 V. no.30:
“Unlovely is the person is the husband who covers his thighs with the garment of his wife.â€
Mahavir Charitra Act 2 Page 71:
When Purshuram comes, Rama tells his wife Sita that “He is our elder, please lower your gaze, and put on the veil.â€
If you read historical books, the books talking about the Coin Age, the Age of the Gupta and the post Gupta age, there are coins , on which there are pictures of the Indian woman wearing the veils and the veil are going up to their shoulders, some go up to the arms. There are many Indian women in the villages who wear the veils; some of the women even cover their faces.
We must be impartial in giving judgment, otherwise Allah will catch us one day...The verdict/judgment should coincide with the extent of sins committed...

Not shaking hands with the opposite gender - the Hijab of men exemplified by President Ahmadinejad
"Tell the believing men to cast down their looks and guard their private parts; that is purer for them; surely Allah is Aware of what they do. And tell the believing women that they cast down their looks and guard their private parts and do not display their ornaments except what appears thereof...." (24:30-31) Indeed, before addressing women and telling them to conceal their bodies, Allah first addresses the believing men and tells us to lower our gaze!

SAY NO EVE -TEASING
BANGLADESH: When sexual harassment leads to suicide
The streets have turned more dangerous for girls; sexual harassment has driven them to drop out of school — even to suicide
DHAKA, 13 December 2010 (IRIN) – Sexual harassment against girls and women in Bangladesh is turning deadly: 28 women have committed suicide this year and another seven attempted it to escape frequent sexual harassment, says a Dhaka-based human rights organization, Ain O Salish Kendra (ASK).
A father also committed suicide fearing social insult after his daughter was harassed and in other cases, stalkers killed three women, reported the NGO.
According to the Bangladesh National Women Lawyers’ Association, almost 90 percent of girls aged 10-18 years have experienced what is known locally as “eve-teasingâ€, where boys intercept girls on the street, and shout obscenities, laugh at them or grab their clothes.
Eve-teasing has escalated ever since girls and women started entering formal education and employment in larger numbers in the 1980s, said Paul Subrata Malakar, from the NGO Plan International, in Dhaka.
Impacts
On 16 November, Sharmin*, a 20-year-old student in Dinanjpur, (400km northwest of Dhaka), was returning home from college when a stalker forcibly held her hand and tried to hug her.
Since then, her parents say, she has stopped going to college.
“As sexual violence is happening on the way to school, it will panic parents and the parents will discourage their daughters from going to school,†said Rekha Saha, director of Dhaka-based NGO, Steps Towards Development.
In a country where 1.5 million girls (out of 10.4 million eligible) are not enrolled in school, an unknown number are avoiding school out of fear and humiliation of daily harassment.
Since January of this year, ASK has received 61 complaints from girls who had dropped out of school because they were harassed.
Moreover, in a country where more than 64 percent of girls marry before they are 18, some parents have pushed eve-teasing victims into early marriage to “protect†their honour and safety, said Malakar and Saha.
Causes
Ishrat Shamim, a gender studies expert and professor of sociology at Dhaka University, is calling for further investigation into the causes of the rise in violence against women.
“[The] mindset of both men and women is important. Many men, also women, believe women are second-class citizens after men. [While] women’s participation in education, the labour force and other activities is increasing, men are not yet to get used to seeing women outside the home.â€
Changing this mindset has proven to be a long-standing obstacle.
“In a male-dominant society, eve-teasing can be viewed as a rite of passage for boys on their way to becoming men,†said Malakar of Plan International. “All the steps [we take] will be futile unless the male segment of the society change its patriarchal mindset.â€
The fact that girls are hesitant to report violence has made studying and fighting the phenomenon even more difficult.
“Many girls believe that if they complain, their parents and community leaders will blame her,†said Sayeda*, a 14-year-old student in the capital, Dhaka.

Sexual harassment is going to be not only a national but also an international issue. All of us have to do something to protect it. Always Remembering DEATH and maintaining our responsibilities to ourselves, children, families, societies & countries will help to protect the nasty problem.
-
We should avoid them who are doing eve teasing.
-
Thank you all for being kind and participating. for being generous and sharing so many authentic information.
-
In this situation (eve teasing) the most common role play his/her family status,how they teach them there daughter & son. In present age the girl so ultra modern its not so good, & Shibli Sir already wrote all the thing in short note. But in this matter i think that The Girl avoid this thing own ,if she willingness to do this ???
-
Adiba, i do personally believe until people get the lesson from his/her family that will be really really tough to stop the Eve Teasing/ sexual Harassment. And every one can get the lesson from his/her family by practicing religion things.

Eve teasing is a burning issue now a days. I have seen that DIU authority is always very much cautious about it. So all should raise voice and complain properly at the right time.
