People who experience stalking usually encounter both in-person situations and stalking through technology. Unwanted phone calls, text messages, and social media messages be just as invasive, threatening, and fear-inducing as in-person stalking. If you or someone you know is experiencing stalking, reach out to a confidential resource! Learn more at the link in our bio. #KnowItNameItStopIt #nsam2024

Stalking is a prevalent victimization. Despite stalking rates similar to those of intimate partner and sexual violence, few resources exist to support victims and survivors of stalking. Stalking can take on specific tactics and implications, especially when abusers identify characteristics that they can exploit as part of the abuse — including sexual orientation and gender identity. When stalkers target victims because of their sexual and/or gender identities, stalking may also be a hate crime. #KnowItNameItStopIt #NSAM2024
Penn Violence Prevention (PVP) engages the Penn community in the prevention of sexual violence, relationship violence, stalking, and sexual harassment on campus. We foster collaborative relationships across campus to ensure a survivor-centered, multi-faceted approach to support services and primary prevention. Through collective community action, we are committed to ending interpersonal violence by addressing gender inequity, social injustice, and oppression through outreach and education.
