Female has to face lot of things in their life. And sexual harassment is a worst thing they face ever in their life. Most of the teenage girl become the target of sexual harassment during their school days by their teacher, principal, bus driver ,whom did trust the most. But it doesn’t mean that the adaptation of all female staff really conservative method towards preventing sexual harassment of female student. This is not this cannot be considered as a effective way to protect women from the sexual harassment. Because girl does not face that in this school only they can came across it anywhere . In their home ,during travelling, in the office ,college , family function anywhere. Can’t prevent them going out . Or if in case we restrict girl going out, at attending festival, continuing their studies but ,how can we protect them in their home only. So this proposer can not be the effective way to prevent this situation.
Instead of that we should try to create awareness among the society, among the male society who considered themselves superior and women weak , that each and every woman deserve respect , equality , justice and there are no one take such a horrible and worst step towards women. Even through, having a male and female teacher, a girl can overcome the hesitation, increase their confidence level and can be become more strong to face such situation .
We should try to teach each and every girl and women Self defence ,increase the confidence and make them aware about their rights. How to take stand for themselves, for their right and for their justice and if in life they or any of their friend came across this kind of situation, then how can they handle that, what can be the effective measure and step they should take at that point of time and how to deal the situation and after overcoming that situation, what step you should take.
And we should also make the male section of the society aware about the punishment and what steps can be taken against them , if they even try to take such kind of Step ever in their life .
