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.
