Nation grapple with Cyberstalking and Sexual Harassment .


Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to Stalk or harass an individual, a group of individuals, or an organization. It may include false accusations, monitoring, making threats, identity theft, damage to data or equipment, the solicitation of minors for sex, or gathering information in order to harass whereas, Sexual harassment, is intimidiation, bullying of a sexual nature, or the unwelcome or inappropriate promise of rewards in exchange for sexual favors. In some circumstances, sexual harassment is illegal.

Experts says that educating students is the first step towards preventing Sexual Harassment. Sexual harassment is an important issue which we can, and hopefully will, deal with successfully as a maturing society.

Sexual harassments can occur in a variety of circumstances. Often, but not always, the harasser is in a position of power or authority over the victim (due to differences in age, or social, political, educational or employment relationships).
Stalking is a continuous process, consisting of a series of actions, each of which may be entirely legal in itself. Stalking is a form of mental assault, in which the perpetrator repeatedly, unwantedly, and disruptively breaks into the life-world of the victim, with whom he has no relationship (or no longer has), with motives that are directly or indirectly traceable to the affective sphere. Moreover, the separated acts that make up the intrusion cannot by themselves cause the mental abuse, but do taken together.

Either adults or peers may sexually harass youth, although peer harassment is most common. The school is but one setting in which sexual harassment occurs. The family, neighbourhood and, now, the Internet are contexts in which sexual harassment occurs. This perception is coloured by the sexually charged nature of relationships between girls and boys as they reach the teen years.

Few of us wont come up with such a serious cause but we all should know the way its ruining our culture and nation.
