From Aditya Pillai via email:
“[This video is part of] a social campaign against Eve Teasing. That is where Indian men just stare at you on the streets, pass really lewd comments, molestation, even kidnap and rape.
It is a horrible experience and no women should have to go through it. It is a form of public sexual harassment of women and a real problem in the Indian sub continent. This kind of violence against the women in India just has to stop. This campaign needs a lot of international eyeballs for people to understand how serious the problem is India.
The campaign includes women from all over Mumbai speaking out against these men. The more people that see this the bigger the voice for women in India.”
Shivangini says
Eve teasing is Street sexual harassment – the same in India as it is every where else in the world. It’s just so much more pervasive in our public space that it makes moving around our streets a huge hassle. It’s a daily pain and most of us have to just wear blinkers – I hope this video and other efforts will lead to more engagement – from by standers, the men and the women.
