ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Eve teasing

Eve teasing is when people, mostly boys or men, bother and annoy girls or women by saying or doing something uncomfortable which makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. For example, it could be whistling or making comments about their looks or calling out to them on the street. Sometimes boy or man might touch them where they don't want to be touched or make rude gestures. Just like when your little brother or sister annoys you by taking your toys or teasing you, eve teasing is like that, but it's much worse because it's happening to grown-ups and it can make them feel scared or ashamed. It's not okay to Eve tease as it's not nice and can make others feel bad. All people should behave nicely and respectfully to one another.
