A dangerous obsession

BBC World Service - Outlook, A dangerous obsession

Why women’s rights advocate Julie Lalonde stayed silent about being stalked for a decade

Julie Lalonde looked to all the world a fearless warrior for women's rights. But every time she stood on stage she was terrified because she was being stalked.

Canadian Julie Lalonde looked to all the world to be a fearless warrior for women's rights. Her job involved telling political and military leaders, mainly men, how to behave but every time she stood on stage she was terrified because she was being stalked by a former lover. She talks to Jo Fidgen about enduring a harmful obsession that lasted more than a decade and how she found the strength to go public.

She's written a book called Resilience is Futile.
