The mission of the Vanessa T. Marcotte Foundation is to reduce objectification, harassment and violence. They advocate for empowerment, safety awareness, and gender equality. The Foundation furthers its mission by providing safety and self-defense training, as well as programs for youth organizations to address the root causes of violence. Vanessa Marcotte was killed by an act of random violence while out for a run. For that reason, many of their programs address runner safety.
