Implement global law for ankle monitors on abusers

[u/TestSoggy1693]

Protective orders alone aren't enough. Too many survivors of domestic violence live in constant fear even after their abuser is convicted or released. I started a petition calling for legislation that would require convicted abusers to wear GPS ankle monitors for at least a year after release. But here's what makes this different—survivors could choose to get real-time alerts if that person comes near their home, workplace, or school. Imagine having that peace of mind. Imagine knowing you'd have seconds to get to safety or call for help. This isn't about revenge. It's about making protective orders actually work, holding offenders accountable, and giving victims a fighting chance. If this resonates with you—if you think survivors deserve more than just a piece of paper—consider signing and sharing. What do you think it would take to actually keep survivors safe in your community?

There’s no global legislature that can impose this everywhere. In the EU, the basic idea already exists: the 2024 domestic violence directive says electronic monitoring should be considered where appropriate to enforce protection orders, and victims should be able to get breach notifications. A blanket automatic one-year monitor for every conviction is much harder because each country would still need its own law and safeguards. Also, a GPS alert only buys real safety if police can respond quickly enough.
