Describe your workshop/presentation (300-500 words): 
Lovers’ murder cases have been on the rise in Taiwanese news. Understanding the cause and consequences of these incidents, we have found that there have always been traces of stalking and harassment involved. Unfortunately, there is currently no regulations against stalking and harassment and hence the reoccurrence of the misfortunate cases. According to a survey conducted by our organization, 12.4% of young girls claimed they have experienced stalking harassment, meaning one in every 8 girls have such experience. The format of stalking most frequently experienced (77.3%) is via communication applications, such as phone calls, text messages, and via the internet, or by stalking their daily activities.

In our online survey last year, 1 in every 5 young students have been stalked via technology, and thus its necessity for legislation. This workshop will be split into three sections. The first forty minutes would be a speech by Professor Wang Pei Ling from the National Chi Nan University Department of Social Policy and Social Work Department. She will speak about the development and prospects of the anti-stalking harassment advocacy work from the needs of the victims, research, legislation and the future. The second 40 minutes: a representative from MWF collaborating with national and international experts in research, will introduce professional assessors and tools required to build a professional network.
A. For professionals: SHARP online assessment tools, related professional workshop
B. Victims: establish the first national stalking harassment hotline to serve the victims.
C. The 2018 trend research: focusing on the analysis of the result of the 2700 Taiwanese high school students online survey on stalking harassment
D. Public Advocacy and Social marketing: creative activities, virtual gaming, screen a 3-minute animation.
E. Legislation action: the third reading for stalking and harassment, Q&A interactive discussion for 10 minutes

台灣近年情殺社會新聞頻傳,梳理事件脈絡皆發現事件前端皆有跟蹤騷擾的跡象,台灣目前沒有針對「跟蹤騷擾」的執法依據,而讓憾事一再發生。本會於2014年針對15-24歲之間高中職大專女學生進行跟蹤騷擾的調查發現:12.4%年輕女學生曾遭遇跟蹤騷擾,等於每8位女學生中就有1位曾遭受跟蹤騷擾。被跟蹤型態以通訊騷擾為最多(77.3%),多是以電話、簡訊、網路,或是監看當事人的動態等。2018年本會進行網路調查顯示,每5位年輕學生就有1位疑似遭到科技跟騷,因此科技跟騷的影響不容小覷,更顯示立法之必要。
工作坊分三階段:
第一階段40分鐘: 國立暨南國際大學社會政策與社會工作學系王珮玲教授專講:台灣反跟蹤騷擾倡議的歷程與展望。講述從發現被害人需求、研究 、立法與未來
第二階段40分鐘: 基金會代表-與國內外專家學者合作研究、引進專業人員評估之工具,協同建置相關專業人員網絡。
A.對專業人員:SHARP線上評估工具、專業人員工作坊
B.對被害人:成立全國第一個跟蹤騷擾諮詢專線以服務被害人
C. 2018年的趨勢研究-針對全台2700多位高中生進行科技跟蹤問卷調查之分析結果
