Milestones

Reform stalking and online harassment offences so they carry stronger penalties; establish clear standards for police response and the use of digital evidence; increase funding and access to support services for victims including legal guidance and safety resources

I experienced this for two years until this year I reported the offender was arrested but due to my friends and screenshots and witness statements were not considered sufficient evidence and I was left with no further support. When I then asked for further support I was offered an alarm which offers a small sense of safety but it doesn't help the emotional, physical feeling of being unsafe in my own local area.
