Our Program

Our Anti-Stalking Program counsels more than 3,000 New Yorkers about safety planning and legal remedies each year.

Our Anti-Stalking program was the first New York State victim assistance program to focus on the crime of stalking.

With state coalitions and local District Attorney's offices, Safe Horizon was instrumental in the passage of anti-stalking legislation that went into effect in New York on December 1, 1999.
