Stalking is a form of harassment that includes following or tracking someone, turning up uninvited to their home or places they frequent, spying on someone, identity theft (e.g. signing up to services or buying things in their name), monitoring communications, accessing their online accounts, and threatening to share private information or photos. Actions constitute stalking when they’re done repeatedly and make the target feel scared, distressed or threatened.
Stalking can result in unexplained or frequent absences. A stalker might tamper with a victim-survivor’s car, follow them to and from work, or send unwanted gifts or flowers to their work, making them reluctant or unable to attend work.
