Safe Space from the Workplace

Karen elaborates on the importance of using an empowerment model, recognising different stalking behaviors, and implementing anti-stalking policies in workplaces. She also touches on the challenges of addressing both physical and cyber stalking, the role of technology, and the importance of maintaining evidence.
