Yukoners more likely to be victims of unwanted surveillance or contact than most Canadians, according to data
Yukoners are more likely to experience stalking than the average Canadian, according to data from Statistics Canada, and a women’s support worker says remote living may be a reason why.
January is Stalking Awareness Month, and Crickett Wilder of the Dawson Women’s Shelter is encouraging Yukoners to learn how they can help keep their friends and family safe.
Stalking happens to “way more folks than you know,” she said.
“It always has this element of fear and fear for one’s safety. Stalking can happen in our workplaces, it can happen in our homes,” she said.
