WHY DRAW THE LINE
WHEN TO DRAW THE LINE
HOW TO DRAW THE LINE
When we take these situations lightly, we support an unhealthy and potentially threatening environment.
Stalking behaviours may include: following someone, making unwanted calls, threats or watching them. Stalking can cause a person to fear for their safety and is a form of sexual violence. In Canada, stalking is illegal.
There is always more than one option for a bystander. Take a stand safely and do something you feel comfortable with. You can:
- Report it: Tell someone you trust - a teacher, a principal, a parent/caregiver or elder.
- Check in with your friend: "Are you ok? Let’s talk to someone."
