One such remedy is seeking an injunction against harassment, a powerful tool designed to stop the behaviour and prevent further harm.

It can also impose restrictions on their ability to contact or approach you, whether online or in person. These orders are enforceable by law, meaning that violating an injunction can result in serious consequences, including criminal charges.
