Stalking takes many forms, but it’s very prevalent. Its prevalence does not make it normal. When we think stalking is normal, it leads survivors to feel like their experiences aren’t serious enough to report, or to get help. Stalking is dangerous and can predict more serious violence. For example, SPARC reports that 85% of attempted and 76% of completed femicides, or murder of women and girls, were preceded by stalking the year before.

Examples of stalking include:
-Unwanted and unasked for contact like social media messages, texts, phone calls
-Unwanted gifts, often used to scare or frighten someone
-Showing up or following someone or their family or friends. Sometimes a partner might show up in someone’s home without being asked.
-Surveillance or monitoring someone’s phone or online activity
-Property damage
-Threats

Human trafficking is often misunderstood. It does not always look dramatic or obvious, and it does not only happen “somewhere else.” It exists in our cities, suburbs, and rural communities and can affect anyone.

Human trafficking occurs when individuals are forced, deceived, or coerced into labor, s*xual exploitation, or other activities against their will. While it is hard to estimate the number of victims, it is believed that 27.6 million people worldwide have been victims of human trafficking. 3 out of 4 are victims of labor trafficking, while 1 of 4 are victims of s*x trafficking.

We have raised a total of $47,164 so far for our winter appeal, just shy of our $60,000 goal.

Your support has meant so much to us and our survivors. You have stuck with us through everything - pandemics, location changes, and budget cuts, and you continue to be an important partner to us as we work towards navigating this new year, with new challenges yet to come. Every survivor that steps through our doors has been able to do so because of your generosity.

Reaching our goal would help survivors start off the year right - with services funded and safety, healing, and hope just around the corner.
