This commercially available software enables partner surveillance, facilitating gender-based and domestic violence, harassment and sexual abuse. Fighting against multifaceted issue of stalkerware requires action from cybersecurity vendors, non-governmental institutions, organisations supporting victims and working with perpetrators, academia and legislation.
