A problem which is manifesting itself into our lives, our homes, our workplaces, our educational campuses and our communities.
It is a problem that threatens thousands of people every day , bringing fear and terror into their lives and threatening to destroy the very thing that is central to all of us : our safety.
The phenomenon is called: STALKING.
" Stalking is like a one-man terror campaign.
Like other forms of violence against women, for too long our parliaments, police and courts have remained silent about stalking.
It’s time we end that silence: one way to do so is to recognize stalking as a crime and to enact specific anti-stalking laws.
It’s time we stop making excuses, and realize the terror and harm it can cause, not only from the psychological impact. And it’s time that good men everywhere speak out"

Mr Cameron met stalking victims later at Number 10 in a reception to mark International Women's Day. The prime minister described stalking as "an abhorrent crime" which "makes life a living hell for the victims".
