Eve teasing refers to public sexual harassment or molestation of women by men in India, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It became a widespread problem in the 1960s as more women started attending college and working independently. Indian law defines eve teasing as making obscene gestures or remarks towards a woman, with penalties of up to 3 months in jail. There are two categories of eve teasers - those who are sexually frustrated, and more dangerous "power seekers" who harass to assert dominance and may escalate to physical assaults. Both men and women are seen as responsible, though eve teasing stems from the actions of the harasser rather than anything the victim did.
