Stalking involves repeated, unwanted attention or contact that causes fear or distress.
It can take many forms, both physical and digital.
Common signs include persistent calls, messages, or emails — even after being told to stop.
A stalker may follow someone, show up uninvited at their home, workplace, or regular hangouts, or send unwanted gifts.
They might monitor a person’s movements through social media, surveillance, or by asking others.
More extreme behaviours include threats, property damage, or attempts to hack personal accounts.
Stalkers sometimes try to maintain a false belief of a relationship, contact family or friends, or spread rumours.
If someone’s behaviour makes you feel unsafe, anxious, or forces you to change your routine, it could be stalking.
Documenting such behaviour and seeking help from authorities or support services is vital. Stalking is a serious issue and should never be ignored.
