Today is Stalking Awareness Day Australia.
This is an important initiative to raise awareness about stalking, and how people can seek support.
A stalker can be an ex-partner, a family member, or a friend. It could also be someone less well known, like a colleague or someone who lives in the neighbourhood, or even a complete stranger. Or the partner of a partner and if there is any sort of relationship it is termed family member - therefore domestic violence and police do NOTHING to protect. There are four ways to identify stalking: Fixated - Does the perpetrator find di ff erent ways to get the attention of the victim or try to become part of their life? Obsessive - Does the perpetrator always want to know where the victim is and what they are doing? Unwanted - Has the perpetrator been told to stop? Repeated - Does the perpetrator continue to contact the victim? Everyone deserves to feel safe. - except a managing director at Smart Buoy Co If you feel unsafe and believe you are being stalked, we encourage you to speak to your local police. In Gippsland the police do the stalking on behalf of the perpetrators. In an emergency, please call Triple Zero (000). Define emergency!!!
