Most of the time this kind of crime is committed by the use of internet and mobile
phones to stalk, abuse, intimidate and humiliate the girls. Comparatively, this
happens with the teenage girls who do not have much knowledge of using
internet. Women of Bangladesh mostly face morphing, cyber stalking and cyber
pornography, such as, forced porn or revenge porn. Mostly, this happens to
destroy one girls personal reputation and creates a fear of her physical and mental
security.
Legal Responses
In Bangladesh the law relating to cyber crime is deal by the ICT Act 2006 & the Pornography Control
Act, 2012. The Pornography control Act has provided some specific relief of this crime under section 8.
Section 8 sun-section (1) has provided that whoever produce or enter into any contract by collecting the
participant to produce, or force any men, women or children to enter into, or induce any men, women

extend to 7 years and shall be liable for fine of tk. 2 lac.
Sub-section (2) has provided that whoever impairs social or individual dignity of a person by
threatening for money or any other advantage by collecting any pornography of a person with or

rigorous imprisonment for a term which may extend to 10 years and shall be liable for
fine of taka 5 lac.
Sub-section (7) of the said section has provided that any offence committed under this
Act or in connection with the offence if any person directly or helps to commit such
offence, shall be punished with imprisonment for each one.
Section 10 of the said Act has provided that the offences under this Act shall be
cognizable and non- bailable.
To be continue.
In both of this Act, there is no clear indication about how to identify and trace the
real culprit by using modern technology. That is why there is a possibility that the
offender may release without getting punishment and the victim faces more
victimization.
The punishment provided under the Pornography control Act, 2012, is somewhere
inconsistent with the crime which has committed. Because the situation of the
victim is more sever then the punishment which provided to the culprit.
Possible Solutions

Constitutional protection is the higher protection in Bangladesh. If some provision relating to cyber

agencies more powerful to deal with such crime proper training and mechanism should be provided
to the police. Furthermore police should also have to know the laws to implement it accurately.

Education:
Education related to the internet using should be start form the secondary school as compulsory. Most
importantly girls should
