‘Digital stalking laws need updating’

Young women need to better recognise controlling and coercive behaviour in their boyfriends, according to Women’s Aid.

And the laws around harassment and stalking need to be updated to provide sufficient protection against the growing problem of cyber-harassment and cyber-stalking.

As it launched a new campaign warning women under 25 that “if it feels wrong, it probably is”, Women’s Aid once again called for legal reform to address digital stalking.
