As of June 2016, the use of the internet is recognised as a human right by the United Nations Human Rights Council. The number of people using the internet is also increasing quickly in India, and the concept of a modern India has placed a heavy emphasis on science and technology as the means to the end of complete and all-encompassing development. The authors of this study want to investigate whether or not the rise of internet and social media has contributed to the epidemic of cybercrime against women in India. In Industrial society ,women online are more vulnerable to cyber-crimes, which occur when illegal activity is conducted online. To stay one step ahead of such criminals, the judicial system, together with the police and investigative agencies, should be equipped with cutting-edge web-based apps. Cybercrime has been highlighted, and the legal remedies available under several pieces of law dealing with the threat of cybercrime have been highlighted as well. The article also discusses in depth the government's participation in the present legal system, as well as the government's responsibility for its actions. Focus will also be given to the causes and consequences of the rise in cybercrime directed towards women. In light of the paper's findings, it is concluded that neither the provisions of the Indian Criminal Code, 1860 nor the Information Technology Act, 2000 adequately deal with such offences and fail to give sufficient precautions to prevent the same. Finally, the author(s) proposes a set of required steps that must be adopted to comprehensively and effectively address the problem of cybercrimes against women.
