How are people 'stalked' in 2021? S2 E7

To be ‘followed’ means many things in 2021 that means you need to look much further than over your shoulder. In episode seven of Rule of Thumb we learn about the multiple way in which someone experiencing family violence can be monitored and tracked by their abusive partner and the multiple ways that will impact their lives. We’ll learn that some things are easy to miss unless we know where to look and what to look for, and we’ll learn what steps we can start to take that will help people who are experiencing stalking and technological abuse.SHOW NOTES and LINKS:NOTE: This podcast discusses family violence which may be triggering for some listeners.
