GENDER BASED CYBER-CRIMESS VIS-A-VIS GENDER EQUALITY: A HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Human beings are rational beings. They by virtue of their being human possess certain basic and inalienable rights which are commonly known as human rights. Since these rights belong to them because of their very existence, they become operative by their birth. Human Rights, being the birth right, are, therefore, inherent in all individuals irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, sex and nationality. These rights are essential for all the individuals as they are consonant with their freedom and dignity and necessity and are conducive to physical, moral, social and spiritual welfare. They are also necessary as they create an environment in which people can develop their full potential and lead productive and creative lives in accordance with their needs and provide suitable conditions for the material and moral uplift of the people[1]. These rights cannot be subjected to even any sort of amendment.
