This is National Stalker Awareness month.
The statistics have shown that most stalkers are individuals that had had some sort of emotional connection to the person they are stalking such as a spouse, partner, ex-lover or acquaintance, even family members.
Stalking is a crime that affects over one million women and nearly to four hundred thousand men each year in the United States alone.
Many of the victims are harassed in their place of work.
Have you ever noticed any of your co-workers wearing long sleeved shirts when it is too warm to be wearing them, or have you noticed any other strange signs? There are many women that are stuck in situations where they feel trapped.
They've been threatened that if they tell anyone, they'll be harmed even more.
Sometimes being a friend to them can help them see that life is too short to be living the way that they are living.
Work is a safe zone for many emotionally and physically abused women.
There's a group named "Safe Horizon" that teaches companies how to recognize the effects of domestic violence.
They also provide domestic violence phone numbers on signs and posters to be displayed in various places in the workplace.
It is unfortunate that for many people, work is a place that they may have some inner peace.
As a co-worker or associate, it is good to talk to others for their well being.
It is good to listen to them and be a shoulder to lean on.
If you feel someone is having hard times at home, maybe even being harassed and intimidated, maybe you could speak with them about other options.
You might also let make them realize they should have some type of inconspicuous self defense item with them at all times, so that should they be in grave physical danger, they may get away once and for all! A pepper spray ring or a pepper spray pen and Lipstick Pepper Sprays are all great undercover means of protection.
If you do not feel comfortable talking with them, you can always mention this to a superior.
If they're not able to get one of these without their aggressor knowing, perhaps you can do them a favor.
You just may save their life! Yours In Safety, Regina Jacques
