Petition To President Obama-Stop Ignoring Victims of Organized Stalking

Currently, when a stalking victim with a single stalker contacts the DOJ-funded Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) they are offered assistance, including rererals to other governmental and non-governmental agencies, referrals to stalking victim's support groups and more However, when a stalking victim with multiple stalkers contacts the Office for Victims of Crime, they are not offered any assistance at all, because "OVC does not provide any direct assistance to victims of multi-stalker incidents." This double standard for stalking victims is unacceptable. Single stalker victims get help from OVC, multiple stalker victims do not. There is now a Care 2 Petition To President Obama To Instruct the Office for Victims of Crime to Offer Assistance to ALL Stalking Victims, regardless of how many stalkers they have.
