Stalking Awareness Month: Survivor Stories
3.3 million adults are stalking victims each year in the United States. Let's show them that they're not alone.
Imagine someone was following you around, watching you from afar and repeatedly calling you without your consent. These behaviors - just a few forms stalking can take - are scary, and can be intimidating for victims to talk about with loved ones. By starting the conversation during National Stalking Awareness Month, we can help victims feel comfortable asking for support.
Read first-hand stories.
We're proud and fortunate to share stories volunteered by the brave voices of the RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) Speakers Bureau. Check back throughout the week as we add more stories designed to help you gain awareness and understanding.

You Didn't Ask for This
The first time he asked me out, I said no. We had known each other in art school, and he always struck me as a little off. Not that he wasn’t brilliant. Not that he didn’t have a body that sparked a million fantasies and eyes so icy blue they could freeze sunlight. But he was so obviously damaged, so obviously unstable. I wanted to be smarter than my hormones, so I said I’m sorry, I can’t.
The Long Way Around
She met him at a restaurant, and he showed up at her work. Then he got her phone number. Next, he found her address, and showed up at her house. He raped her. After she moved, he broke into her new apartment and drove her into a deep depression.
Then, she found out she was pregnant.
