Step 1-CHILDREN AND YOUNG GIRLS: Recognize eve teasing or sexual harassment. Eve teasing is the term used in India when a stranger makes a remark about your body, dress or the way you walk or about your posture. He may also make cat calls. It usually happens in public places. It can also happen in schools. Tell your teachers when it happens.



Step 2-Learn more about the human body. Ask teachers to teach you about male and female body development, reproduction system and puberty.



Step 3-Recognize sexual abuse and rape. If a male touches your sexual parts or rubs his body against you, or inserts an object or his hand or his sexual part into your body, it is not a gesture of affection. It means the person is molesting you and/or raping you.



Step 4-Be aware during play, religious functions and parties. During play or during parties and functions, if boys try to touch your sexual parts, scream/yell/run away from the place/shout for help/tell parents


Step 5-Beware when someone touches your sexual parts. If an older relative or a family friend touches your sexual parts as a gesture of affection, move away/scream/yell/jab at his eye or bite his hand/run away from the place/shout for help/tell parents.




Step 6-Beware when someone tempts you with a treat. If your male relative or family friend tells you to come to his house or room alone, promising to give you an attractive gift or treat, refuse. Ask him to bring the gift out where everyone can see it. Tell your parents if he forces you or threatens you.



Step 7-Attract attention: When the abuse begins or is about to begin, create a ruckus or tantrum or throw things out of the window to attract others’ attention. Do this even if the abuse happens in the night when everyone is sleeping. Don’t worry about disturbing their sleep. Worse things are happening to you and will worsen.



Step 8-Tell someone the first time it happens. If a relative or family friend is sexually abusing you, tell your parents or your sister or grandmother the first time it happens even if the abuser tells you not to.



Step 9-Travel in a group. Always walk or travel to school and back home in groups.


Step 10-Use safe roads. Avoid walking on lonely or deserted roads when you go out shopping, or for running errands. Walk in streets which are well lit, where there is moving traffic and where there are people.

Step 11-Take ladies seat in bus and train. If you have to travel alone by bus or train, ask for a ladies seat or compartment.



Step 12-Keep yourself strong and fit. Exercise regularly and eat well and drink sufficient water.
