In Hackney we are #StandingAgainstStalking and all forms of harassment.

Green quote graphic from Cllr Susan Fajana-Thomas OBE which reads: Today marks the start of National Stalking Awareness Week 2023. #NSAW

Nobody should live in fear of harassment and this includes stalking. Stalking is a pattern of repeated, unwanted behaviour that can cause you to be scared and distressed. If you think you are experiencing this please contact the National Support Helpline on 080 8802 0300. Don’t wait until an act of violence before you report it. If you are in immediate danger, always contact the police on 999.

This year the focus of #NSAW is supporting young victims of stalking due to an increase of reports from 16-24 yr olds. If you are a young person who needs support the Council’s Young Hackney team can help you, call them on 020 8356 7404.
