Cybercrime Against Women In India: Challenges, Legal Safeguards, And Preventive Strategies

Abstract

Crime against women is a prevalent issue in our society since practically every woman experiences abuse on a daily basis at some time in her life. Cybercrime in the contemporary world is scarcely a novel form of criminal activity. Any illegal activity conducted on or via computers, the Internet, or other technologies approved by the Information Technology Act is referred to as cybercrime. Criminals with technical expertise utilize the internet to carry out a variety of crimes. Cybercrime, taken more broadly, is any illegal activity that involves the use of a computer or the internet as a tool, a target, or both. The misuse of the increasing technological dependence of modern civilization gives rise to cybercrime, an uncontrollable evil. The necessity to promote user comfort has arisen from the rapidly growing use of computers and related technology in daily life. To deter and punish infractions of these rules, the Indian government focuses a great priority on teaching its people about women's rights. It's also critical that other participants in the criminal justice system, such as police enforcement, detectives, public prosecutors, and judges, learn about the laws regarding cybercrime against women and develop a deeper comprehension of these offenses. Furthermore, it is imperative to revitalize and increase the popularity of grievance redressal procedures and organizations. The main objectives of this effort are to streamline the complaint filing process and shorten the duration between investigations and prosecutions.
