IIITH study finds where gazes are fixed

The research aimed to investigate whether women are subjected to objectifying gazes even when their clothing is not considered provocative. “It’s her fault.” – a phrase that has been used to justify countless acts of sexual harassment and assault, placing blame on the victim rather than the perpetrator. The key allegation against the victims is that they were not dressed appropriately, which might have led to the harassment. This victim-blaming attitude often hinges on the notion that women’s clothing choices invite unwanted attention. However, a groundbreaking study by researchers at the Cognitive Science Lab at IIITH challenges this pervasive belief.
