Abstract: Cybercrimes against women have emerged as a critical issue in the digital era, with offenses like extortion, phishing, cyber stalking, and cyber defamation becoming increasingly common. This paper delves into the various forms of cybercrimes targeting women and evaluates the legal mechanisms designed to protect them. It examines key provisions of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and the Information Technology Act, 2000, which address crimes such as sexual harassment, voyeurism, stalking, and identity theft. Additionally, the paper highlights significant judicial rulings that have influenced the legal framework for combating cybercrimes against women in India. By analyzing these legal provisions and landmark judgments, this study seeks to contribute to the development of more effective strategies for safeguarding women in the digital space.
