Women's Shelters Canada is calling on phone companies to adjust how they respond to those escaping violence, saying the costs of changing a phone number and difficulties leaving a shared plan are key barriers for victims. This simple policy change could literally save lives.

The framing of this story is why created our organization. "Domestic dispute" is the label being given to this but then you read the story and he broke into his FORMER partner's house. That's stalking.

One of Taylor Swift's stalkers is claiming to be her legal husband, which drags her actual boyfriend into the violence, too.
A reminder that if a billionaire pop star can't stay safe from her stalkers, what does that say about the rest of us?

If you do work on stalking, does that work consider the reality that queer people are at higher risk than straight or cis people? Including 2SLGBTIQ+ people into your work is a 365 job, and not limited to Pride Month, but it's never too late to start! 🌈

When we minimize the stalking that celebrities experience, we make it harder for *all* victims to get justice. Not to mention how it dehumanizes celebrities to act as though they are unaffected by such horrific crimes.

The child actor who played The Empress in the NeverEnding Story has mounted a comeback. She explained to the Metro UK that she quit acting as a young girl because the scripts she was getting were "inappropriate" and the stalkers were unbearable.

... speaking of eclipses, Edward watching Bella sleep might seem sweet on the page or on the screen but in real life? Terrifying. ❌ Stalking is not romantic ❌ Surveillance is not romantic ❌ Obsession is not romantic ✨🧛✨

Trans rights are human rights. Trans, non-binary and 2Spirit survivors of stalking matter to us. And should matter to you, too! We vehemently reject the notion that trans people are a threat to women and girls and we object, with our full chests, the latest round of transphobic rhetoric in Canada.

Kelly did everything we tell domestic violence victims to do: she reported the abuse to police. She left her abuser. She reported his stalking. And she was killed anyway.

Dr Julia Lippman studied the impact of media portrayals of stalking on women's understanding of stalking. What she found is that framing stalking, obsession and persistence as romantic de-sensitizes women to the red flags.

February is Black History Month! American research found that Black women were significantly less likely to report feeling afraid of their stalker than white women. Because in both Canada and the US, 'fear' is a standard for criminality, this means Black women are less likely to get justice.

Still thinking about this ad for a canine tracker I caught on instagram yesterday. Bill of the ad was on how it’s better than AirTags, but all I could see was stalker’s dream come true.

January is Stalking Awareness Month. Looking at legal decisions in Canada re: stalking, women were repeatedly held responsible for the actions of their stalkers. And yet, there's very little evidence that a victim can ever change a stalker's behaviour.

In the U.S., 1 in 12 women and approximately 1 in 63 men have been the victim of both sexual violence AND stalking by the SAME perpetrator. We must include stalking in our work to create a consent culture. We must teach people to handle rejection with grace and not violence!

I looked up some data when I was dealing with a scary situation awhile back - I wanted to know if the chances were, like, 1 in 400 that this person would become violent, or what. I expected the odds to be low! Turns out the rate of stalkers who become physical is between 25 and 50%!

The fact that billionaires with some of the beefiest security on the planet, still can't stop their stalkers from reaching them and their homes should tell you how dire the situation is, and how dangerous it is for every day people.

Did you know that women and girls under 25 have the highest rates of stalking in Canada? It's not enough to tell girls and women to leave abusive relationships. They also need safety planning because leaving is the most dangerous time.

Canadian study found that over half of those who had experienced domestic violence said it continued at the workplace in some way, for example, harassing phone calls from the abuser & stalking.

Miley's longtime stalker was arrested outside her home at 1am this weekend. Ironically, January is Stalking Awareness. This is a brutal reminder that stalking is a terrifying form of psychological torture that nobody deserves - even famous people.

Dr Julia Lippman's research found that in framing persistence and obsession as romantic, we've desensitized women to the realities of stalking. The answer isn't Death To RomComs! But rather standardized media literacy so we can spot red flags.

January is Stalking Awareness Month Victims of stalking often downplay their experiences & rarely come out & say "I'm being stalked." As an ally, listen for things like "He's being creepy", "they just won't leave me alone", "I'm kinda freaked out."

We are recommending that the law should be changed to remove "fear for your safety" and replace it with "Impede your ability to go about your daily life" which is far more easily measured and less likely to lead to bias.

The "fear for your safety" part is subjective and in too many cases, judges have relied on sexist stereotypes to say a woman wasn't afraid. In one (in)famous case, because the survivor is seen on camera yelling at her stalker to leave her alone, the justice argued that she clearly wasn't afraid.

January is Stalking Awareness Month In Canada, stalking is called Criminal Harassment. To meet the legal threshold, you have to prove it was unwanted, repeated and made you fear for your safety. It's only been a crime since 1993! It's a very flawed law that we are working to change :
