<p>Stalking is prevalent in Australia. There are hundreds of cases reported every year. These people’s existence has been besieged by a stalker. Survivors often are voiceless and have no place to tell their stories. This podcast is giving a voice to these victims. A place to tell their stories. Hopefully, we can help others who are in this terrible situation to fight back.</p><br><p>EPISODE NOTES: Michelle met her stalker at a giveway sign. You can meet people anywhere. Things were great in the beginning, but things went from bad to worse pretty quickly. From black eyes, to choking, to eventually having a price on her head.</p><br><p>Twitter: Stalking Australia @Stalking Austra 2</p><p>Facebook: Stalking Australia@Stalkingaustralia</p><br><p>If you or someone you know is being stalked please reach out for help:</p><p> </p><p>Literally, millions are stalked every year, yet there is still so much stigma, silence, and shame around this subject.
