In 2011, the CDC released alarming figures on a growing epidemic of stalking by intimate partners and sexual violence. The survey findings are listed below:

• 7.5 million people were stalked in one year in the US
• 61% of female victims and 44% of male victims were stalking by a current or former intimate partner
• An estimated 15% of women and 6% of men have been a victim of stalking during their lifetimes
Stalking is defined as a pattern of behavior that causes fear. Technologies (GPS, cellphones, cameras, computers, social networking sites) have made it easier for perpetrators to harass, monitor, and track victims. This form of harassment can lead a significant traumatic effect on its victims.

I know all too well, I am a victim of stalking and harassment from a former intimate partner. The purpose of this letter is to educate the readers on the growing problem and help others who are going through this same ordeal, which I refer to “guerilla warfare”.

Lesson #1, learn stalkers tactics! Stalkers do the following:

• Make unwanted phone calls, including hang ups
• Leave unwanted messages and emails
• Show up places when not wanted
• Watch, follow, or spy on victim with a device, camera or GPS
• Leave strange or threatening items
• Sneak into the victim’s home or car in such a way that victim realizes the stalker was there
• Leave unwanted items (flowers, cards)
Lesson #2, Take pictures, videos. Save all documentations in chronological order. You will need it when you go to court. I also kept an excel spreadsheet log with “time, date and incident” section.

Lesson #3, Contact the authority, domestic abuse centers, hotlines, family members and friends. Stalking and harassment is a serious matter.
