Survey Reveals One in Five Australian Women Have Experienced Stalking

The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that most female stalking victims know their stalker, often a current or former partner.

Approximately 2.7 million Australians, including 2 million women, have been stalked since age 15.
Women are eight times more likely to be stalked by a male, with 78% knowing their stalker.
Stalking behaviors include unwanted contact, loitering, and electronic monitoring.
Young women, students, renters, and those under financial stress are most at risk.
Only 25% of female victims report stalking to police, with many feeling they can handle it themselves.
