NCW calls for overhaul of cyber laws, seeks tougher safeguards for women online
NEW DELHI: Aimed at addressing the legal and institutional gaps in India’s response to cyber offences targeting women, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has urged a comprehensive review of existing cyber laws and sought stricter provisions to protect women from cyberbullying and harassment.
The Commission has proposed harsher penalties for cybercrimes against women and children, penal action for threats to share private and obscene content, a mandatory victim compensation fund and the appointment of district-level psychologists and forensic experts.
