Abstract
Over the years, technology has made widespread
development at global level. This technological development has many advantages
like increased productivity, improved education and easy access to information,
however alongside these advantages it has a dark side too and this side is
cybercrime. Cybercrimes are committed against different sections of society but
one of the most vulnerable sections which is prone to cybercrime is ‘Women’.
Cybercrime against women is a serious concern as it is growing at a fast pace
and need to be dealt with it. This article examines the rapid growth of
cybercrimes committed against women including cyber-stalking, cyber-bullying,
cyber-pornography, morphing, cyber-harassment, cyber-sex trafficking,
cyber-grooming and phishing. Further, it also focuses on legal framework,
enforcement mechanism and methods to combat the prevalence of cybercrime
against women. Inadequate legal framework and lack of awareness among people
are the prime causes for growing cybercrimes which can be dealt with by
providing better training and resources to enforcement agencies and creating
awareness among women about these crimes.
