16 Days of Action 2024: Stalking and harassment

Tuesday 26th November 2024

The 16 Days of Action is an annual campaign that runs from 25th November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, to 10th December, Human Rights Day. Its aim is to raise awareness of issues around violence against women and girls.

This year, in Wiltshire and Swindon, the chosen theme for the 16 Days of Action campaign is stalking and harassment.

Across the 16 Days, local organisations will come together to raise awareness of stalking and harassment as well as how to access specialist support.

Visit the 16 Days webpage for more information on this year’s local campaign: www.wiltshire-pcc.gov.uk/16-days-of-action

If you or anyone you know is affected by stalking, harassment or domestic abuse, support is available.

FearFree (Wiltshire) and Swindon Paragon Integrated Domestic Abuse Service (Swindon) provide specialist support for adult victim/survivors, children and young people and people wanting to change their behaviour:

Contact Wiltshire Police to report stalking, harassment and domestic abuse, or to ask for advice around any of these issues:

  • Visit their website
  • Call 101 in a non-emergency
  • Always call 999 in an emergency

Contact Crimestoppers to anonymously report a crime or suspicious behaviour:

This short video, from Alice Ruggles Trust, aims to raise awareness of stalking and encourage people to seek help. It features two friends discussing the behaviour of an ex-partner. This is duly recognised as stalking, safety advice is given, and the victim is supported in making a police report.
