📢 Stalking Awareness Day
Stalking is a serious and deeply distressing crime, and the scale of it is stark.
🔸 1 in 5 women in England and Wales have experienced stalking.
🔸 Here in Merseyside, 60% of women report living in fear of being stalked, as revealed through a local survey of more than 4,000 women and girls.
Today, we’re shining a light on the impact stalking has on women and girls and reaffirming our commitment to protect and support those affected.
Through our joint campaign we’re working to:
✔️ Bring offenders to justice
✔️ Improve reporting routes
✔️ Raise awareness of the ‘red flags’
✔️ Ensure specialist support is available for anyone impacted by stalking or harassment
No one should live in fear.
If you’re worried about stalking, for yourself or someone else, please report it, speak up, and seek help. You are not alone.
