Women safety on Internet

With the advent of internet there came a significant paradigm shift in the dissemination of information , modes of communication , knowledge gaining process and human relationship.In this post -enlightenment period where we work for feminism and gender equality ,we see women are harrassed online and due to the fear of harrassment most abandon has abandon surfing internet. Internet is helping us getting socially closer to eachother but harrassments reported has created a gap in newly constructed model of socialization.
According to research by Amnesty International surveying more than 4,000 women "more than one in five women have experienced online harassment or abuse". This report does'nt suggest any women to stray away from social media platforms and diverge form the fast and cheap medium, but it suggests how many women don't know their rights.
So to stay tangled and attached with the internet , know the laws which will help you:
IT Act 2000
The act defines cyber crimes and prescribes penalties for them.

Section 66E of the act deals with "publishing private images of others" and if a person captures, transmits or publishes images of a person's private parts without his/her consent or knowledge can get imprisonment up to three years, or/and with fine up to ₹200,000.

Section 67 of the act defines "publishing information which is obscene in electronic form" and if a person publishes or transmits or causes to be published in the electronic form, any material which is lascivious or appeals to the prurient interest or if its effect is such as to tend to deprave and corrupt persons who are likely, having regard to all relevant circumstances, to read, see or hear the matter contained or embodied in it can get imprisonment up to five years, or/and with fine up to ₹1,000,000.

Section 67A defines "publishing images containing sexual acts and if  a person publishes or transmits images containing a sexual explicit act or conduct may get Imprisonment up to seven years, or/and with fine up to ₹1,000,000.

In 2008,section 66A was introduced by amending IT Act 2000.It penalized sending of "offensive messages". Provisions addressing voyeurism were also introduced in 2008 amendment.
