A lot of people think stalking is something that just happens to celebrities, but the reality is that it can happen to anyone. Stalking can be defined as persistent and unwanted attention that makes you feel pestered and harassed. It includes behavior that happens two or more times, directed at or towards you by another person, which causes you to feel alarmed or distressed or to fear that violence might be used against you.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Through grants and donations. We frequently attend conferences highlighting industry advancements. We are dedicated to continually improving our programs. Pro Bono Help for Survivors   

When it comes down to cases involving stalking and domestic violence, Ariel can almost act like a personal bodyguard, helping a survivor discover if their abuser is stalking them after they’ve left.  

We help survivors avoid being digitally tracked and otherwise stalked by their attackers.  We look for GPS devices on survivors’ cars, illegal spyware on their phones, and evidence that an abuser is stalking a survivor online.

We can gather evidence for court on behalf of a survivor to enforce restraining orders, prosecute domestic violence, or use it in custody cases. Ariel can conduct background checks locating their abuser and helping spot potential abusers in the future. 

These background checks can help determine risk levels and help survivors develop a strategy to avoid their attacker. We can also give survivors advice on how to change their routines to avoid being found by their attacker. As people are trained to blend in, Ariel can be a helpful resource in training survivors on how to disappear.
