India is full of amazing artists and these 5 women are truly pushing the envelope through their artworks!

"When you do the right thing, the universe protects you and enables you to do more good. So just stand up and do the right thing.”

Eve teasing and molestation are problems that women all over the world, especially in India, grapple with everyday. Often, many women are unaware of the laws and regulations that give them protection against such acts. Here are some of the key legal sections dealing with sexual offences against women that all women must know about.

Popular singer Atif Aslam has set an example by stopping mid-concert after spotting an incident of eve teasing in the crowd to tell off the molesters.

When Milind Chandwani saw a group of men harassing women in a local train, he decided to take matters into his own hands and confront them.

Olympic athlete Krishna Poonia recently turned into a superhero when she chased down men who were harassing two girls in Churu district of Rajasthan.

They were just a group of 15 in Lucknow in 2011. Now they are a force of 8,500 around the country. The world-famous Red Brigade, which addresses the issue of sexual violence in India, is the brainchild of gutsy Usha Vishwakarma, a survivor of attempted rape herself.

A 16-year-old girl walking alone in the evening looked like an easy target to two drunk men. But she taught them a lesson they'll never forget - they were beaten, punched and kicked until they finally fled the site.

Vadmitra Chowdhary, a 31-year-old soldier from Meerut stepped up to save a girl from harassment but could not save his own life in the process. He stood true to his duties and will be recognized as a martyr.

She was "touched" in a crowded street. Instead of keeping quiet about it, she chose to fight back and teach the molesters a good lesson. Watch the inspiring video that gives a strong message to all women.
