Social Media and the Cyber Crimes Against Women-A Study

Abstract

Cyber security is also referred to as information security or computer security. Additionally, this book provides an overview of the history of cyber security. As part of our research, we sought to discover what the repercussions of cyber-violence, harassment, and discrimination against women would be in a patriarchal culture. This paper examines the realities on the ground - how well Indian laws protect women (and girls) and create an environment where they can safely use the internet. The Union Ministry of Women and Child Development has acknowledged the seriousness of cyber-crime and the need for coordinated efforts to combat it.
