Abstract

Inventions have always been a component of society's evolution. The internet has been a benefit to society since its beginnings, but with the passage of time and continued usage, it has also resulted in some disadvantages. On the one hand, internet use has a beneficial effect, but it has also provided a route for serious cyber-crime in recent years. In this article, we will concentrate on cybercrimes affecting women across the world, such as stalking, unethical hacking, cyber bullying, and forced pornography viewing. Women's crime is one of the most common types of crime, and it is growing at an alarming pace across the world. Women's crime is on the rise, and this includes violence against women in the digital age. In an age of technology when young people are more exposed to it, crime rates in the virtual world are rising at a similar pace. People in India are mostly unaware about cybercrime. Cybercrime may take various forms. In this article, we primarily focus on cybercrime in India. Women in India have always been looked down upon, and there have never been any laws in place to protect them. We have examined and offered potential recommendations in this article as to what should be depended on and what adjustments should be done in the legal system to effectively control the growing spirit of cyber criminals.
