Abstract : Today we live in a digitally empowered society and due to the growing  internet utilization there is a huge risk  to women  through cyberbullying on various social networking platforms. Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. Online threats and mean, aggressive, or rude texts, tweets, posts, or messages all count. So does posting personal information, pictures, or videos designed to hurt or embarrass someone else. With each year the rate of cyberbullying is on the rise, causing adverse effects. Unfortunately, a lot of women are indeed the victims of cyberbullying. Online harassment not only places a heavy burden on women's freedom of expression, civic participation, and democracy; it has the potential to limit their educational and economic opportunities. Although the government has made steps to provide a safe online environment, there is still very little public awareness regarding the legal remedies that may be used to combat cyberbullying or serve as a deterrent. The purpose of this study is to examine the nature and prevalence of growing trends of cyberbullying  among women of Northeast India and to explore existing legal frameworks and provisions for cyberbullying regulation in India. The research method selected for the present study is exploratory in nature and  is based on the secondary data and  review of literature related to the existing strategies on cyberbullying.
