Stalking and its impact on women

If you are experiencing stalking, supporting someone who is or want to better understand what stalking can look like, these pages are here to help. 

Stalking is a crime in New Zealand, giving victim-survivors strengthened protections under the law. Women and girls are overrepresented as victim-survivors of stalking and the law recognises that stalking can be a harmful pattern of unwanted behaviour that affects your safety, wellbeing and daily life.

Here you’ll find information about what stalking behaviours are included, where to get help and support and what practical steps workplaces can take to respond safely. 

If you’re experiencing stalking and harassment behaviour, know you’re not alone and that there is support available.
