Eve-teasing is an offensive crime in itself; and it can lead to something more immoral, wrong and disastrous for the one who is at target. And even though everyone knows this, still many people turn a blind-eye towards it. They will stand like mute spectators, see the whole drama, and then walk away.

But there are a few people who stand against it, and do take a step forward. It is not always necessary to get aggressive or beat up the bad guys. At times, just a small move by you can send an equally strong message. Just like this guy in the video, whose one small step saved a girl from becoming a victim of eve-teasing, and maybe much more.

This is one of the shortest social messages that we have probably seen in quite some time. There is no beating around the bush (actually there is no beating involved at all) or drama in the video. There is a guy standing beside the girl, who is also busy on his mobile. But after watching the malicious look in the eyes of guy opposite him, he senses that something is fishy. Soon, he understands the matter.
Now, if he wanted he could have ignored this whole thing and have looked the other way, like most people do. After all, this act is not affecting him. But instead of walking away, he decided to take a stand. He decided to stop the cheap act right there. And no, he did not get into a verbal fight with him; he simply changed his position and shielded the girl from the eyes of lecher, sending out a strong message with just one step. Even though the girl was ignorant about the whole thing, just a small step taken by the guy saved her from the wandering eyes. In the end, actions do speak louder than words. That one step by this guy, was enough to make the other one feel ashamed of his act.
