Sponsored By: Senator Amy Klobuchar
Passed Senate
Summary
National Stalking Awareness Month designates January 2026 to spotlight stalking's prevalence, harms, and the need for public education. About 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men experience stalking in their lifetimes. Roughly 13.4 million people report stalking each year, and over 80% of victims are stalked by a current or former intimate partner or acquaintance. The resolution applauds service providers and urges policymakers, colleges, law enforcement, prosecutors, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and the media to raise awareness and expand victim services, with attention to young adults, people with disabilities, and technology-facilitated stalking.
