APAV receives congratulations on action against Stalking
APAV received a warm congratulation for joining the UK on the National Stalking Awareness Day on April 18th, which was officially launched last year by Scotland and England and Wales.
Hence, APAV launches this year its first National Stalking Awareness Day and will do so by launching a leaflet and a website on the phenomenon [www.apav.pt/stalking]. Hopefully this will be a key opportunity to raise the awareness to this form of victimisation that is not yet recognized has a crime in Portugal.
Our slogan is "Take stalking seriously" ("Levar o stalking a sério") and we aim to raise the awareness of the general public for the negative and sometimes life threatening consequences of stalking for its victims.
