Happy Friday Pueos! Today for Stalking Awareness Month, we are highlighting the intersection of stalking and hate crimes. While stalking is often romantically motivated, this is not always the case. Someone’s reasoning for stalking another person can be rooted in prejudice and hatred against a specific group, and when this happens, stalking may be a hate crime. Remember: No matter the reason, stalking is ALWAYS wrong. #nationalstalkingawarenessmonth2025 #uhwocompliance

For today’s stalking awareness post, we are sharing some important resources for documenting and identifying stalking. If you or someone you know is experiencing stalking, it is important to document each incident so that you don’t forget one and are able to illustrate a pattern of stalking behavior. Even if you aren’t sure if you want to make a formal report, having this information is essential. To access a stalking log, as well as the stalking risk assessment tool, visit the Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center (SPARC) website and coercivecontrol.org #nationalstalkingawarenessmonth2025 #uhwocompliance

However, these and other concerning behaviors are often indicators of a bigger issue at play, like stalking. Be sure that you know what behavior may constitute stalking, and call it out for what it is. In our next post, we will be sharing resources for how to document instances of stalking behavior. #stalkingawarenessmonth2025 #uhwocompliance
