Beyond governmental measures, Shambhavi Choudhary warned about a disturbing pattern emerging among some youth: recording harassment of women and sharing the footage on social platforms. She observed similar incidents across different regions and stressed that combating such behavior requires collective responsibility. The MP urged communities, families, and educational institutions to engage in meaningful dialogue to understand why this mindset is gaining traction among young men. She advocated for a joint effort involving the government, civil society, and the media to dismantle the cultural acceptability of such acts and to promote respect for women at every level.
