The state has officially agreed to reallocate funding toward direct services for victims of domestic violence and stalking. We forced this systemic shift and it is finally happening because 587 of you stepped up to demand accountability. Keep watching the upcoming public budget hearings to ensure they follow through on …

The most critical point in the victimization cycle is when a victim reaches out for help. Without proper access to much needed services, victims are often unable to escape or survive the cycle of violence, and become disenfranchised by the very system put in place to protect them. Without help,Stalking victims are finding it necessary to ‘self-advocate’. While this may work for some, other victims that may be up against a psychologically aggressive perpetrator do need outside assistance from advocates that are trained to handle high-risk domestic violence and stalking cases.
It is crucial that funding is reallocated to organizations that provide direct and much-needed services for victims in order to prevent further violence, re-victimization and even homicide.
There is a solution, but we need public support as we work to make a difference and enact change. Help us as we urge policy-makers to reform the current system and take stalking and domestic violence reform seriously.

The stories coming in through these comments prove that this broken cycle hurts people every single day. I am currently meeting with local policy leads to demand a full audit of where these funds go. Send an email to your representative today and insist they prioritize direct services for victims over administrative bloat.

I am being harassed and robbed even tho there is a 2 year protective order in place against my husband. I've taken him back to court, went to the police and the magistrates office and nothing has stopped him from breaking in. I've changed all the locks twice. I'm now trying to afford security cameras.
The courts are very limited by current laws and burden of proof standards. The change starts with us advocating for legislative improvements. Mental health professionals, law enforcement, medical experts, and victims can help educate law makers with hard data, statistics, and anecdotes. God be for us and our cause!
Many domestic laws need to be enforced. Too many victims are turned away. I am a single mother who has lost everything, and was offered maybe about 2% help, a food stamp card!
I've been divorced from my Ex-husband for 15 years and he is still 'legally" using my daughter and the family courts as "tools" to stalk and abuse me (and my daughter). STOP THE INSANITY!!!!
I suffer from PTSD as a result of an abisivr behaviour and have been stalked since. I just kept getting referred by my GP to outsourced places that were inaccessible. I've had to cope on my own since then
I am trying to find my way, been abused by the system, losing all human rights, Stalked and attacked in my home, on the street, in the community, the church, and didn't know why. Thought it was because of my daughter's death. I call it murder for organs. But what I accept now is the fact somehow we were kidnapped by the Health System, Guinea Pigs, implanted. So I try to move forward knowing someone somewhere knows all I think and has the ability to control my body internally. I hang on tight to my God Soul, sometimes God carries me when I have the need, then I get up and start again, with hope again, feeling blessed, working and hoping I can finish what it is he wants me to do.
I'm there!

Victims of stalking by proxy or stalking through 3rd parties really have no voice whatsoever. The police don't consider this a restraining order violation, although 3rd party stalking can be extremely frightening, harassing, and unnerving.
