Key Points

  • The Senate officially named January 2025 as a month to focus on the problem of stalking. This action aims to help people recognize the signs of stalking and understand how common it is in the United States.
  • The resolution highlights that about 13.4 million people are victims of stalking every year. It notes that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men will experience stalking in their lives, often causing severe anxiety, depression, and fear for their safety.
  • Congress is using this designation to encourage police, schools, and community groups to improve how they help victims. It specifically mentions the need for better protections against technology-based stalking, as 80% of victims are targeted through phones, social media, or tracking devices.
