National Stalking Awareness Month, 2025
Presidential Proclamation Issued by the White House on 2025-01-01 02:28
A Proclamation
During National Stalking Awareness Month, we recognize the profound impact stalking has on individuals, families, and communities across our Nation. We also recommit to preventing and addressing this serious crime.
Stalking is a pattern of repeated, unwanted attention or contact that causes fear or distress. It can take many forms, including following someone, sending unwanted gifts or messages, or making threats. According to the National Center for Victims of Crime, nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced stalking in their lifetime.
Stalking is a serious crime that can have devastating consequences for victims. Victims may experience fear, anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems. They may also lose jobs, relationships, and even their lives.
We must do more to prevent and address stalking. Law enforcement agencies, victim advocacy organizations, and communities must work together to create a comprehensive response to this crime. We must also educate the public about stalking and encourage victims to come forward and seek help.
The enactment of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2022 was a landmark achievement in the fight against stalking. This law includes several provisions to improve the response to stalking, including:
- Expanding the definition of stalking to include electronic harassment.
- Increasing funding for victim services and training for law enforcement officers.
- Creating a national stalking database to help track and apprehend stalkers.
These provisions will help us to better protect victims of stalking and hold stalkers accountable for their crimes.
Now, Therefore, I, [President’s Name], President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 2025 as National Stalking Awareness Month. I encourage all Americans to learn more about stalking, recognize the signs of this crime, and support victims of stalking.
Together, we can create a future where everyone is safe from the fear of stalking.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
[President’s Name]
