What to Do If You’re Being Followed

Contact friends. Call or text friends who may be nearby. Plan to meet with a group of them as soon as you can. By being in a group, you may deter the person that is following you from continuing to do so. In addition, your friends will make you feel safe and could help defend you.

• Ask your friends to meet you in a public area, like on the street, in a bar, or in a restaurant.
• Request that a friend picks you up in a public location as soon as possible.
