Women are contributing and embracing new technology and discoveries in today's fast-paced world without falling behind. They have learned to use modern technology for networking, professional activity, and self-expression, but crimes against them that undermine their self-sanctity and respect continue to occur. As a result of adult bullying, cyberstalking, hacking, modified sexual photographs, and electronic blackmail, harassing women is now considered a kind of cybercrime. The Indian Parliament and the law-making bodies are always working to deal with new offenses as a result of technological advancements. But in the modern era, these rules are insufficient to rein in and restore the status of women. Lawmaking bodies in India and abroad have expressed the opinion that crimes of this nature should be strictly monitored and outlawed in order to uphold women's place in society.
