Animation: Stepping Out of Silence: Stalking, Support and Seeking Justice in Kirklees

The women of lived experience of stalking “influencers group” wanted to communicate the key findings from the interviews with women of lived experience of stalking in an accessible and visual form. Animation was seen as a medium which could protect identity, engage audiences and tell stories. The researchers obtained funding from the University of Huddersfield Impact Acceleration Account to work with Digital Panda to produce a short three minute animation. This is based on the stories of women who took part in research interviews. As the majority of women who took part had experienced domestic abuse, the focus of the animation is domestic abuse stalking. It reflects key findings on the impacts of stalking on victims/survivors; their varied experiences of policing; and the critical role of support services during crisis and recovery.
