About Sada
Stalking is a Crime.
Stalking is behaviour through which someone imposes themselves into another person’s life in a way which causes distress, fear, and disruption.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics:
- an estimated 2.7 million people aged 18 years and over (14%) have experienced stalking since the age of 15.
- About 2 million of these people are women accounting for 20 per cent, or one in five
- Women are stalked three times more often than men.
- Stalking perpetrators can be anyone, including members of your family, neighbours, acquaintances, work colleagues, or even complete strangers.
- Many well known serious crimes have occurred because of escalating behaviour by stalkers.
SADA was established by Di McDonald to empower and educate people who are stalked.
