🚩 Being tracked online isn’t harmless, it’s cyberstalking.
Technology plays a part in all our lives, helping us stay connected, manage our homes, and communicate with the people we care about.
But for many women, the same technology is being used to threaten, monitor, control, and harm.
Tech enabled abuse is a form of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), and it is a crime.
It can include constant unwanted messages, threats made through social media, sharing intimate images without consent, tracking someone’s location, controlling smart home devices and accessing personal accounts without permission.
These behaviours, which include cyberstalking, cause real fear, distress, and harm, and no one should have to endure them.
By raising awareness, challenging harmful behaviour, and empowering women with practical tools and information, the campaign aims to make online and offline spaces safer for everyone.
Our officers are committed to responding robustly to these crimes, protecting those at risk, and holding perpetrators to account. We are absolutely focused on identifying those who weaponise technology to abuse others and will use every tool available to pursue, disrupt, and bring offenders to justice.
