520			_aUnwanted Attention: Sexual harassment in colleges in Mumbai" is a complete handbook for lecturers, members of the Women's Development Cell and students. It combines data from Akshara's research study, with general information and concrete actions like workshops for students. Beginning with the prevalence and types of sexual harassment, it goes into its devastating effects on women and the blurred line between light teasing, flirting and sexual harassment. It answers questions like why do men harass women and why do women tolerate it? Has Mumbai University's determined effort to establish Women's Development Cells in colleges worked? Lastly, it proposes ways of handling the issue along with a format for an interactive workshop for students. Akshara, a women's group, believes in changing society by changing people. At the individual level: every year over 1000 young women and men benefit from scholarships for education and our capacity development workshops for skills, confidence and leadership. At the societal level: our media program uses different forms of communications for interactive learning like info fairs, Internet courses and a free reference library for students. For collective actions, our advocacy program campaigns along with others for better legislation and policies.
