Here's an idea to enhance victim safety: Implement 24/7 monitored GPS tagging for all convicted stalkers. A non-negotiable measure during protective orders or state supervision. This brings us a lot closer to accountability and control. Safety should not be a luxury. The technology is there. Yes it costs money but at what cost would we not fund it? Central funding could make standardised GPS tagging of convicted stalkers a reality and prioritise the safety of victims. #CommunitySafety #stalking

It is critical that you can be your first line of defense.

A self-defense incident in Charleston, WV, underscores the dangers of domestic violence and the life-or-death decisions it can force. A 19-year-old woman shot her 31-year-old boyfriend in self-defense after a violent assault. The case is under review, with no charges filed at this time. This serves as a reminder of the gravity of self-defense situations and the importance of being prepared to protect yourself when faced with immediate threats. #SelfDefense #DomesticViolenceAwareness #DefensiveGunUse https://lnkd.in/ePXtvbh2

Understand How Abusers Scare, Silence and Control Their Victims When survivors first seek help, they often believe the lies their abuser has told them, which prevents them from reaching out to their support system or speaking up about the abuse. Abusers make threats to scare, silence, and control their victims because they know their actions are abusive and fear the victim may get help. These threats are a tactic used by abusers to maintain control over their victims. While some threats may seem empty, it's crucial not to dismiss them, as physically violent abusers may follow through. For one's safety, it's important to seek help at the first sign of trouble and not allow the abuser's threats to discourage reaching out for support and protection.
