Why is Eve Teasing so common in Bangladesh?

When I first heard of this incident where a group of boys in Dhaka followed some young girls and then almost ran over one of them in their eagerness to attract their attention i was shocked. The injured girl (just ten years old!) was shown on TV and it was reported that she could be in hospital for several months-it was very disturbing to say the least.
What upsetting is that culprits are now free on bail.....

Studies show that 32 percent of the eve teasers are students, 35 percent are anti-social while the 33 percent are middle-aged men.

An increasingly large number of college going girls and other women taking public transportation in all metropolitan cities in Bangladesh have resorted to carrying pins, pen-knives and even daggers as a deterrent. Other has taken self-defense classes and don’t hesitate to hit.
In Bangladesh, every 51minutes a woman is street harassed; every 21 minutes one women is molested. Eve teasing is something that a woman has to contend with everyday.

Is this what our country is coming to?
I know we have no laws strong enough to either darter eve-teasers or to prevent rash driving...but what about public outrage? There was another incident in Dhaka where a man deliberately played dirty clips on his cell phone while sitting next to a girl in a bus. He kept thrusting the phone close to her face.....finally the girl stopped the bus and took the man to the police. Not a single commuter came forward to help her....in fact even the police were reluctant to register the complaint! They felt that she should have simply slapped the man instead of complaining to the police.
It is no big secret that the police don’t take eve-teasing incidents seriously. Eve-teasing is so common that the police are terrified of the flood of complaints they might receive if they did register the complaints! Shame on them.
