The statistical report of 2011 in the Bangladesh education said though the dropout ratio among young girls was more significant than their male complements.

The admission rate in primary education level had improved enormously to 9.83%, although the dropout percentage was relatively high, 39.80% in 2011 (Khatun & Islam, 2018).

Dr Samuel Johnson referenced, initially, it offers help to the casualty as she can improve the loss affected to her. Next, it provides the victim with vast satisfaction to realize the eve teaser abolished and punished. She enhances a sense of happiness, joy and recovers her self-esteem and confidence. Moreover, it provides a severe warning to the eve-teasers that they do not treat in this abominable practice (Wafa & Mostofa, 2013). Consequently, intensely decreases the eve-teasing.
The issue of eve-teasing ought not to be reduced and trivialized to a law-and-order problem as it can regularly grow into brutal crime, i.e., murder and rape. Eve teasing is a painful experience which can leave mental scars and has destructive consequences for the broader community. As a result, legal actions ought to be appropriately implemented for controlling this condition.
