It's crucial that stalking is seen for what it often is for many of the woman we support — a continuation of domestic abuse.

Recognising this link is key to protecting victims and survivors, and ensuring they get the support they need.

Stalking isn’t always from strangers — it can be by someone you know.

Many of the women we support at Women’s Aid experience stalking from current or former partners.

This behaviour is never okay, and support is available: womensaidni.org
