Public harassment is increasing day by day. Many people, especially girls, feel unsafe in places like buses, markets and streets. The main reasons for this issue are lack of awareness and weak law enforcement. Many victims do not report incidents due to fear or shame, which makes the situation worse. This problem affects mental health, reduces confidence and makes society unsafe. Many girls avoid going out alone because of it.

I request the authorities to take strict action. There should be better security in public places and awareness campaigns so people understand that harassment is a serious crime.
