First things first – the term ‘eve-teasing’ needs to die; it’s sexual harassment. Period.
So the good guys at Buzzfeed posted a video where Indian women talk about the first time they were sexually harassed and it is super sad because it’s super relatable. I don’t know one woman in my life who can look me in the eye and tell me that she had never been harassed by a man. Sigh.
Watch it here:

Share this post as much as you can so that people everywhere know that sexual harassment is a glaring reality in every women’s life and using euphemisms like ‘eve-teasing’ just makes matters worse.
