The study was carried out on a sample of 150 college going girls aged 18-24 years from four different educational institutes of Chandigarh and a self formulated questionnaire was used for the study. The results, using percentages, highlighted that 65% have experienced eve teasing quite often, mainly in markets (51%) and other public places (28%). Girls report that boys often tease them by touching and passing comments (58%), chasing (33%) and starring at them (31%). 44% of the college girls report that they have experienced sexual abuse. Based on the findings of the present work, it was felt that there is a need to educate and orient parents and educators about the importance of sex education in enhancing the reproductive health of adolescents. Therefore, it is suggested that the college administration should establish counselling clinics, focusing also on sex education and reproductive health issues,(Reen,2013).
