In response to alarming statistics revealing that one in five women in England and Wales have experienced stalking, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced new government proposals to improve protections for stalking victims. The measures include a ‘right to know’ policy for identifying online abusers, more accessible Stalking Protection Orders, and efforts to ensure police and courts can respond effectively to stalking cases. Activist Nicola Thorp, a stakeholder in the new guidelines, emphasized the urgent need for these changes to safeguard victims.
