Two recent incidents of violence against women, in which a 16-year-old girl was stabbed in Delhi and a 28-year-old woman was “brutally assaulted” in Mumbai, have reignited the debate around women’s safety in the country. 

While eve-teasing used to be the most common form of harassing women in public places, more cases of masturbating have recently been documented and discussed by women. There is hardly a day that passes by when you don't feel safe leaving the house. Women live in constant fear of being sexually harassed or, worse yet, eve-teased when they are out in public.
