Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are making everyone's lives easier and more convenient. They are unprecedentedly transforming our lives, especially those of women, by providing a different range of opportunities to people, businesses, and social relations. With the exponential growth of the "social internet", privacy is becoming a blurred concept as women are more eager to share information about their daily experiences, professional gains, and social relations. All these led people and organizations to enjoy parallel virtual lives in cyberspace. Cyberspace means the virtual and dynamic space created by machine clones. It can be compared to a human brain, where the network of computers represents the innumerable neurons and the connections between them. Therefore, it can be considered a link between the physical and the infinite worlds. The main victims of cyberspace are women, who get harassed over social media, and due to a lack of knowledge or sometimes due to fear of defamation, the culprits are not made accountable for their misdeeds, and justice is denied to these victims. Cyberbully is defined as making use of computer networks to impose or threaten violence on another person, which leads to sexual, psychological, or economic harm, and can include the exploitation of situations, qualities, and so on. Additionally, the world witnesses a digital gender divide (i.e., more men than women have smartphones, and men dominate the ICT jobs); as a result, women and girls are more vulnerable to cyber assault. This paper aims to understand the scenario of cyber-crimes and cyber security and analyze the perception of women towards awareness of cyber security. In this paper, we plan to suggest several preventive measures to counter the ever-increasing cybercrimes against women in India. Unless women are being cautious and responsible, choices made in cyberspace can be costly and dangerous, due to the distinct characteristics that render cyber violence's gendered impact. In this paper, we will also examine the various laws that exist to protect women in such cases. We will include various case studies on cyber-crimes.
