Bill > SRes586

This resolution designates January 2026 as "National Stalking Awareness Month" to raise awareness and encourage the prevention of stalking, a crime that affects millions of Americans each year, often by current or former intimate partners or acquaintances, and can lead to severe fear, threats of physical harm, and even intimate partner homicide. The resolution acknowledges the significant emotional and psychological toll stalking takes on victims, including increased rates of anxiety and depression, and highlights that many victims are forced to take drastic measures to protect themselves, such as relocating or obtaining protection orders. It also recognizes the prevalence of technology-facilitated stalking and the need for improved responses from the criminal justice system and increased availability of victim services, while commending the efforts of various organizations and entities working to combat stalking and support victims.
