Abstract	The increasing number of sexual misconduct and rape cases in todays society required a stronger moral foundation. Buddhist ethical conduct and principles provide us a practical approach based on the moral values like compassion, mindfulness, and disciplined moral conduct. This research article tried to explore how these principles can support both prevention of sexual misconduct and the healing of survivors suffering from extreme pain, anxiety, social boycott and media pressure. Compassion-karuna encourages a real concern for the suffering of others..Mindfulness (sati) helps. individuals must be aware of their intuitive thoughts, incorrect intentions and potential for harm. Right action-sila guide people toward responsible and respectful behavior in our civilized society and which makes society more liveable and respectful.. If we successfully incorporate these ideas in your existing system it will be an game changer because it help build a new common culture where people considered respect and consent are considered to be essential which further downgrade the patriarchal mindset that existed in our society. This paper further explores the role of Buddhist communities in creating a just society and public efforts that promote a safe environment and inclusive society where women are equally respected apart from that, this paper also explores the possibility that how our modern legal and administrative systems benefit from age-old ancient practices.
