Abstract
Eve teasing is regarded as a problem associated with juvenile criminality. It is a type
of sexual aggressiveness that can take many different forms, from groping to catcalls,
sexually provocative comments, and brushing in public areas. In addition to endangering a
woman's safety, prevalent views of gender roles that place the blame on the victim may make
her feel even more ashamed and degraded. The purpose of this descriptive research study was
to ascertain how young adults felt about eve-teasing. Using the population proportion
sampling approach, 240 young individuals, both male and female, were chosen from two
colleges at the G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology to serve as the research
sample. Suitable statistical methods [8,9] i.e., frequency, percentage, p-value, and correlation,
were applied to the collected data to derive the research results. After analysis and
comparison of the data, the findings of the research reflected strong disagreement towards
eve teasing. A significant association was found between the attitude of young adults towards
eve teasing and selected independent variables, i.e., age, gender, college, and family income.
