## Summary

**National Stalking Awareness Month.** The Senate designates January 2026 to spotlight stalking, its harms, and the need for stronger victim services and criminal justice responses. The resolution lists findings that stalking is common and serious: about 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men experience stalking in their lifetimes, roughly 13.4 million people report stalking each year, most victims are targeted by intimate partners or acquaintances, and technology-enabled stalking affects about 80 percent of victims. It applauds service providers and urges policymakers, campuses, law enforcement, nonprofits, businesses, and the media to increase awareness and support for victims.
