In all the <stuff> some good news!
I am proud to have contributed in a small way to this legislation which, while not all we need to do, will make a huge difference in this space.
Huge mihi to all who have worked so hard on this for so long (looking at you @akwomenscentre.bsky.social!).

From yesterday, Tuesday 26th May, stalking is now a crime. This could be a major boost for the freedom of women and communities - and we'll be watching to see it's implemented properly 👀
A new law makes stalking a criminal offence punishable by up to five years in prison.
