January is National Stalking Awareness Month. Stalking is a serious form of violence that often goes unrecognized and unaddressed. Most victims know their stalkers, who use both technology and in-person tactics to frighten and control them. Nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men in the U.S. experience stalking in their lifetimes, which includes persistent pursuit behaviors such as following, unwanted communication, and spreading rumors. It’s crucial to acknowledge the risks and seek appropriate support and legal responses.
