H.Res. 99 designates January 2025 as "National Stalking Awareness Month" to raise public awareness about stalking and encourage prevention efforts. The resolution highlights the scope of the problem, noting that approximately one in three women and one in six men in the United States experience stalking in their lifetimes, with an estimated 13.4 million Americans reporting stalking victimization annually. The resolution applauds efforts by law enforcement, victim service organizations, colleges, universities, and community groups that work to combat stalking and support victims, and it encourages policymakers, institutions, and organizations to increase awareness and expand victim services. No new funding is authorized by this resolution, which is a symbolic measure recognizing the 21st anniversary of National Stalking Awareness Month and calling on various entities to promote education about this crime.
