Abstract
It has been observed that males commonly harass women. Sometimes males are also harassed by females, but this happens rarely. In both cases, men and women do not speak directly. Most of the time, they avoid it when the problem becomes severe and take any action. In this paper, we discuss how to collect information about these sensitive questions by randomize response techniques. Also, we show that these techniques are better than a direct questionnaire method.
