January is National Stalking Awareness Month (NSAM), and it’s important to remember that many sexual violence survivors are also stalking survivors. Many stalking survivors experience additional sexual co-victimizations, including sexual threats and nonconsensual distribution of intimate images. Stalking can have devastating and long-lasting physical, emotional, and psychological effects on victims. We can help victims take stalking into account as they devise a safety plan, navigate legal systems, assert their rights, and obtain the support they need and to which they are entitled.
