Raising Awareness of Stalking

 

Statistics show that one in three women and one in six men face stalking in their lifetimes. Most often the perpetrator is someone the victim knows – and at one time trusted. Survivors can be terrorized for years as they try to stay safe – at home, at work and online. It’s important to understand the signs of stalking, which can include getting unwanted texts, photos, emails and phone calls; being followed and watched; getting approached in places uninvited; receiving unwanted gifts; and using technology to monitor, track or spy on the victim. If you need support, call the National Center for Victims of Crime hotline at 855-4-VICTIM (855-484-2846). Outside of the U.S., go to NO MORE Global Directory.
