Mayor reads proclamations addressing stalking, human trafficking
By Eric Hrin | Times West Virginian
“Stalking is an issue that affects far more individuals than we realize and I believe is grossly underreported and at times, undetected,” Shine said in an email. “Stalking is not just following a victim around and making them feel uncomfortable. Technology can remove a stalker’s physical presence from a situation, making them able to monitor and track victims. We rely on a partnership with HOPE and others to advocate for these victims, make sure they know that there is help available, and assist them through processes (legal and personal).”
The proclamation states “there is a need for great public awareness about the nature, criminality, and potential lethality of stalking,” and “criminal justice systems can enhance their responses to stalking by regular training of law enforcement officers and aggressive investigation and prosecution of this crime.”
The proclamation further states that “laws and public policies must be continually adapted to keep pace with new tactics used by stalkers,” and “communities can better combat stalking by adopting multidisciplinary responses by teams of local agencies and organizations and by providing more and better victim services.”
With the proclamation, the council made January “Stalking Awareness Month.”
The other proclamation made January “Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Month.”
“All communities must seek to prevent human trafficking before it can occur, by promoting safe, healthy, and supportive environments,” the proclamation reads. “The City of Fairmont is striving to become a place where human trafficking does not exist, where people have opportunities available to them, and where all people are treated as fully human and worthy of a supportive community and freedom.”
It states that human trafficking “is a nationwide public health and civil rights crisis,” and “its victims and survivors are everywhere, with the City of Fairmont being no exception.”
The city’s proclamation states that human trafficking “includes both labor and sex trafficking, with both international and domestic victims and usually includes force, fraud, or coercion,” and “notes that “anyone can become a victim of trafficking.”
“While women and girls are the primary victims, victims/survivors come from every background, race, gender, sexual orientation, fanned economic status,” the proclamation states. “Traffickers target individuals who, for any reason, and vulnerable.” It notes that young people are particularly vulnerable to trafficking and exploitation.
