520 _aStalking Law for NZ, Nov 2022, ACSWC, & NCIWR. 1 A STALKING LAW FOR NEW ZEALAND: Why it is necessary and what it should look like November 2022 Policy briefing from • Auckland Coalition for the Safety of Women and Children • National Collective of Independent Women’s Refuges • National Council of Women of New Zealand, Te Kaunihera Wāhine o Aotearoa Key authors: Alison Towns (ACSWC), Natalie Thorburn (NCIWR) and Bernice Williams Summary Stalking is unwanted repetitive and persistent intrusions into a person’s life: it is a form of abuse that is a risk factor for physical and sexual violence, including death. Even if a single action appears trivial, stalking is a pattern of behaviour, which a reasonable person would find distressing, or objectionable or frightening. Women are disproportionately affected by stalking, particularly young women, disabled women, rainbow women and likely wāhine Māori, while migrants and ethnic minorities may experience unique forms of stalking. The most dangerous, and persistent stalking is conducted by ex-partners of women, with child contact being a particular risk factor. The targeting of women participating in public discourse (politicians, journalists, celebrities) may dissuade others from speaking out, preventing women from contributing their expertise and thought leadership to public discourse.
