An Empirical Analysis of Social Media-Driven Cyber Crimes against Women in Pakistan

Abstract

The study examines the implications of social media on the psychological welfare of Pakistani women within a patriarchal framework, elucidating the cultural determinants and the significance of social capital. Social networking sites have recently risen to the top of everyone's priority list. Social networking sites are used to exchange any information. In recent times, it is clear that crimes against women are on the rise in all areas where cybercrime is rampant. However, it can be a very frustrating experience for a woman. In this research, a study was conducted to examine cybercrimes that occur against women. How does a cybercrime affect a woman? I am also planning to provide information on measures to curb the rising cybercrime against women in Pakistan. We will learn about the impact of cybercrime on the lives of women victims. This study discusses various cybercrimes, such as cyber defamation, email phishing, bitcoin fraud, data theft, and social media scams. Cybercrimes against women have been discussed for many years. The use of social media has increased as more systems have gone online, such as online education, virtual meetings, and work-from-home, which has led to cybercrime.
