Kudos to you, you have my wholehearted support. My enemy is communism. I believe generations of entitlement mentality and statist model of polity has led to eve teasing in India. We have come to accept that people must subordinate their rights to that of the state. Since some people identify themselves with the state, they believe they can violate others' rights with impunity.
Eve teasing as I see it is a crime, plain and simple. I also urge you to take your campaign and press kits etc. and distribute it to every police station, every administrative offices and even workplaces. Many women do not know their rights.
Share your skills and your time: join us on a 3-month internship.

Blank - that which is not allowed meaning, form or articulation. Noise - that which heightens, builds itself.
'Eve Teasing' in India is considered a joke or prank. Blank Noise is a public and participatory arts project that seeks to explore street dynamics and recognize 'eve teasing' as street sexual harassment or violence.
Blank Noise is a public and participatory arts project begun in August 2003 with a small group of 9 participants. Conceived as a personal reaction to street sexual harassment, the project has grown through workshops and local volunteers to a five-city, hundred-plus volunteer project that seeks to address street sexual violence through dialogue made possible as a result of sustained public interventions.
