New laws aimed at tackling stalking will be “hugely beneficial to victims”, according to a leading campaigner and survivor.
From today, stalking victims will be able to apply for civil protection orders regardless of their relationship to their stalker.
“It will be hugely beneficial to victims of stalking because it could prevent it from escalating, if somebody is able to get an order of protection before it escalates to the point that it did in my case,” she said.
