Bill > SRes46

This resolution designates January 2025 as "National Stalking Awareness Month" to highlight the serious and widespread problem of stalking in the United States, drawing attention to alarming statistics such as approximately 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men experiencing stalking victimization during their lifetimes, with over 13.4 million individuals reporting stalking annually. The resolution acknowledges that stalking predominantly occurs by current or former intimate partners, poses significant risks including potential physical harm and increased likelihood of intimate partner homicide, and can have severe psychological impacts like anxiety, depression, and social dysfunction. By designating this awareness month, the Senate aims to encourage policymakers, criminal justice officials, victim service agencies, educational institutions, and organizations to increase public understanding of stalking, support victims, and promote awareness about this pervasive crime, particularly noting its prevalence among young adults and its increasing occurrence through technological platforms. The resolution also commends the efforts of various entities working to combat stalking and support victims, urging national and community organizations, businesses, and media to help raise awareness during the designated month.
