Abstract
With the continuous change in society, there is also a constant change in the lifestyle of the people. Decency differs from person to person and from place to place. This paper will mainly talk about how the media is portraying women in an indecent way which harms their dignity. It is seen that media is playing a very vital role in development of the society but the merits, also comes the demerits of the same. Despite so many laws and provisions enforced in India to control the crime against women, still they tend to be insufficient to control them. This study will describe how various laws and provisions are keeping a check and preventing the indecent representation of women and are trying to control the same and punish the offenders.
