Abstract

In our nation, women are accorded a unique status. They are revered as deities. However, as society has become more modern, their fundamental rights have been infringed. India's information technology industry is expanding quickly. Cybercrime is on the rise in tandem with the widespread use of computers. Furthermore, the majority of cybercrime victims in our nation are women. Cybercrime comes in many forms, such as cyberstalking, cyberdefamation, and cybermorphing. Emails are being used to harass women. They deal with the issue of cyberbullying, which is prevalent these days. To prevent these kinds of crimes, we have the Information Technology Act of 2000. With an emphasis on the legal system and enforcement strategies, this research critically investigates the scope and character of cybercrimes against women in India. Online harassment, cyberstalking, and revenge pornography are the most prevalent cybercrimes, according to the survey, and they frequently go undetected because people are unaware of them and don't trust the police. India's present legal system is insufficient to combat cybercrimes against women, and law enforcement organizations require stronger resources and training, as well as more women's education about the hazards and legal rights.
