Eve teasing and molestation are problems that women all over the world, especially in India, grapple with everyday. Often, many women are unaware of the laws and regulations that give them protection against such acts. ""On 1st January 2017, the nation was shocked at the event that took place at the third safest city in India, Bangalore. The girls on the street were touched and grabbed, groped, catcalled, and abused without any hesitation and reluctance. Despite as many as 1,500 policemen being present on the streets, they were not able to avoid an incident of this nature. This shameful display of sexual violence took place when women were leaving the pubs after celebrating on New Year’s Eve, where they ran into drunken hooligans who allegedly tried to molest them.""its just an eg to show that its a problem of mindset there were policemen also but they all were helpless.

Each girl must remember that the offence is not one where an out-of-court settlement can take place. Being a cognizable offence, the police has the authority to arrest the accused without a warrant, and start an investigation with or without the permission of a court.A lot of times, it has happened that the police refuses to register a case, specially in a case of molestation. In such a case, you can file a private complaint before the Magistrate under Section 200 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, along with a Section 156(3) application.
There are lots of laws made for women safety some are
-Section 294: This section gives protection to a girl from men who annoy her by committing any act of obscenity in public.
-Section 354: This section deals with the offence popularly known as molestation.
-Section 354 A: This section gives you protection from sexual harassment. If a man tries to make physical contact, or a request for sexual favors
-Section 354 B: Section 354 B can be applied if any man assaults or uses criminal force against any woman, or abets her in such a manner that his intention is of disrobing or compelling her to be naked.
-Section 354 C: This section is applicable if any man watches, or captures the image of a woman engaging in a private act
-Section 354 D: Section 354 D applies if a woman thinks that a man is following her, or trying to make contact or attempting to make contact with her, with an intention to foster personal interaction
And in all these sections there is a harsh punishment of 5 to 7 years of jail.
