Cyber Harassment of Women on the Rise in India

Cyber Harassment of Women on the Rise in India

Many women in India are facing a lot of trouble online.

People are sharing private pictures, making threats, and even changing pictures to make it look like something else.

This kind of bullying is happening more and more, especially to young women and girls.

It's happening on places like Instagram and Telegram.

Some examples are groups that share private photos or put women's pictures up for fake sales.

There are serious problems with this issue as the number of cyber bullying incidents has almost doubled in the past 5 years.

This includes situations like the use of fake pictures to hurt or blackmail others.

People are often too scared to report it.

Stopping this needs everyone to work together, especially the social media platforms themselves, schools, and the police.
