Ann Moulds, founder of Action Against Stalking, shares her personal experience of being a victim of stalking and the flaws in the criminal justice system. She highlights the lack of recognition and support for stalking victims and the dismissive attitudes of the police.
Ann's advocacy led to the introduction of stalking as a distinct and standalone crime in Scotland and other European countries. She emphasises the importance of victim impact and trauma-informed approaches in addressing stalking.
Ann's work included training law enforcement, raising awareness, and providing support to stalking victims. The conversation explores the different types of stalking and challenges the misconception that stalking is solely related to domestic abuse. It highlights the need for a comprehensive understanding of stalking and the importance of separating it from domestic violence. The guests discuss the need for a unified approach to stalking laws and the importance of empowering victims to speak out and seek support. They also address the myths surrounding stalking, including the idea that it only occurs in ex-partner relationships. The conversation concludes with a call to action to create a safer environment for women and to raise awareness about stalking.
