Abstract:
Nowadays, cybercrime against women is a very familiar issue. According to BTRC, the
total number of Internet users in Bangladesh was 120.95 million in June 2021. The total
number of social media users in the country is 45 million according to the report released
in February 2021. Though it is a boon on one side, on the other side it has created insecurity
in the virtual world. The advent of technology has led to cybercrime and the victimization
of females, which is a great threat to the security of a person. Understanding the concept
of cybercrime is not radically different from the concept of conventional crime. Any
criminal activity that uses a computer either as an instrumentality target or a means for
memorializing further crime comes within the scope of cybercrime. Although there are
provisions like section 57 of the ICT act for cyber violence, these acts are not specific about
cyber violence against women or do not recognize the variety of technology-middle
violence against women as offenses.
