The indicator of developed nation can be measure to see the status of women's dignity and enjoying rights. Besides sexual harassment, early marriage and VAW cannot be continue in any developed society and nation. Sexual harassment, eve teasing now become chronic social diseases and some ill motivated youth are engaged to do such types social crime as a fun but sometimes it may reason for unexpected death and stop mobility of a young girls. So there is high need to create a social movement to remove these types of social crimes from society, otherwise women mobility will goes down and which ultimately hamper the national development and prosperity. Without participation of major portion of the country no nation can develop. This is the right time to create social movement to create environment for women participation in development process and right to education for all is one of the key factor to develop our nation. A gang of ill motivated vested groups always try to split out the women folk from development intervention and they created many strategy to stop mobility of women and sexual harassment and eve teasing are use as tools for them. The Government has initiated many initiatives to stop eave teasing, sexual harassment and the offense is included in mobile court at Upazila level.
