Flowers and chocolates are nice and all, but what we really want this Valentine’s Day is for society to STOP ROMANTICIZING STALKING! Each year, cards like these present stalking as cute, harmless, sweet, or funny. In reality, stalking is prevalent, traumatic, criminal, and dangerous. #stalking

Too often, stalking victims are blamed and judged for not living intensely private lives. Nothing victims do – or do not do – causes stalking. Only stalkers cause stalking. #NSAM2025 #KnowItNameItStopIt

Con bastante frecuencia, se culpa y se juzga a las víctimas de acecho por compartir mucha información personal. Nada de lo que las víctimas hagan (o dejen de hacer) provoca el acecho. Sólo las personas que acechan provocan el acecho. #NSAM2025 #KnowItNameItStopIt

Pop culture often portrays stalking behaviors as romantic, heroic, funny, or edgy. While the media doesn’t cause stalking, the consistent misrepresentation of this dangerous crime can make it harder for victims and survivors to receive the support they need & deserve. #NSAM2025 #KnowItNameItStopIt

Stalkers often use third parties to obtain information about their victims. These mutual acquaintances, friends, coworkers, and others may not even know they’re assisting a stalker when the offender seems well-intentioned or presents the request for information as genuine concern. #NSAM2025
