It analyzes various forms of cyber violence—including cyberstalking, image-based abuse, doxing, and sextortion—and evaluates the legal responses under Indian law including Indian Constitution, BNS, etc. The paper further examines international conventions such as CEDAW, ICCPR, ICESCR and the Budapest Convention to assess global standards in addressing online gender violence.
