This resolution designates January 2026 as "National Stalking Awareness Month" to raise awareness and encourage the prevention of stalking across the United States. It highlights that stalking affects a significant portion of the population, with approximately 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men experiencing victimization, often leading to fear, threats, and severe psychological distress. The resolution recognizes stalking as a serious crime, frequently perpetrated by current or former intimate partners, and a significant risk factor for intimate partner homicide. It also notes the increasing prevalence of technology-facilitated stalking and the particular vulnerability of young adults and college students. The Senate applauds the efforts of service providers, law enforcement, and educational institutions already addressing stalking. It encourages policymakers, criminal justice officials, victim service agencies, and nonprofit organizations to increase public awareness, improve the criminal justice system's response, and expand the availability of tailored services for victims nationwide.
