Dalam upaya untuk mengurangi pelecehan seksual yang makin meningkat di India, Empat Perguruan Tinggi yang ada di negara bagian Uttar Pradesh, menerapkan suatu peraturan yang melarang para muridnya menggunakan jeans dan juga pakaian ala Barat (Rok mini, Tops, Hot Pants).

Perwakilan empat perguruan tinggi tersebut ingin mengambil langkah antisipasi untuk mengurangi pelecehan seksual yang semakin meningkat akhir-akhir ini. Bentuk pelecehan bisa berawal dari penggodaan. Terutama untuk para mahasiswi yang mengenakan Jeans, Rok Mini, Baju ketat, Hot Pants.

Bagi mahasiswi yang melanggar maka akan dikenakan hukuman yang sangat berat yaitu dikeluarkan dari Universitas. Hal ini menimbulkan reaksi daru para mahasiswi yang menganggap bahwa mengenakan jeans adalah hal yang biasa, tapi pihak universitas tidak ambil pusing. Mereka bahkan akan menetapkan kode berpakaian bagi para mahasiswi.

Mungkin hal ini juga harus diterapkan di Indonesia. Walaupun di Indonesia belum terlalu banyak kasus pelecehan seksual, tapi harus bisa di antisipasi.
