In Scotland, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience stalking or harassment during their lifetime. It can happen online, offline, or both, and often involves a pattern of repeated, unwanted behaviours that leave someone feeling frightened, distressed or unsafe.

Recognising the signs is the first step towards supporting victims and challenging harmful misconceptions.

If you or someone you know is experiencing stalking, specialist support is available.

Blocking a stalker might seem like a simple solution a quick way to stop the messages and the anxiety they cause.
But in reality, it can sometimes escalate the situation and put you at greater risk.

When a stalker is blocked, they may:
- Become more obsessed or angry feeling shut out and intensify their behaviour.
- Retaliate and they might seek out new ways to contact you or increase unwanted attention.
- Switch platforms or methods making it harder to monitor what they’re doing.

Blocking also means you lose visibility of what they’re saying or posting about you and that can make it harder to gather the evidence police need to act.

A safer approach:
- Keep a record of every unwanted contact screenshots, dates, times.
- Mute or filter messages so you don’t have to see them in real time.
- Share what’s happening with police or a stalking support service.

Supporting someone experiencing stalking doesn't mean having all the answers—it means being there.

- Listen without judgement.
- Believe what they're telling you.
- Don't minimise their experience.
- Encourage them to access specialist support.
- Respect their choices and their pace.

Being stalked can leave someone feeling isolated, frightened and unsure of who to trust. Your support can make a real difference.

If you or someone you know is experiencing stalking, you don't have to face it alone. Action Against Stalking provides free, confidential specialist support.

On 28th July 2026, marks 40 years since Suzy Lamplugh disappeared at exactly 6:45 pm on Tuesday 28th July - the time Suzy was reported missing. The Trust was established soon after to stop what happened to Suzy happening to someone else. 40 years should have been enough.

Enough to stop stalking.
Enough to stop harassment.
Enough to stop abuse.

Yet every day, lives continue to be devastated by violence, aggression and abuse.

Suzy Lamplugh disappeared after leaving her office to meet a client. She never came home. Suzy's disappearance changed the entire landscape around personal safety in the UK. It led to the creation of the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, a charity dedicated to preventing violence, aggression and abuse, supporting victims of stalking, and helping people live safer lives.

To get involved you can sign Suzy Lamplugh's Trust petition calling on parliamentarians to put stalking, harassment and personal safety back on the government agenda.

Or by simply sharing this post to help spread awareness that stalking, harassment and abuse must come to an end.

Stalking doesn't have to happen face-to-face. Repeated and unwanted messages, location tracking, fake accounts and online monitoring are all forms of stalking. Online abuse has real-world consequences.

Support is available.

If someone's behaviour makes you constantly change your routine, check over your shoulder, or feel anxious every time your phone buzzes, don't ignore that feeling.

Stalking is a pattern of unwanted, fixated behaviour that causes fear or distress.

Stalking has devastating effects on victims, leaving them feeling fearful, isolated, and traumatised.

The constant surveillance and harassment can also cause psychological and emotional harm, leading to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
