On a summer afternoon, Vanessa Marcotte left her family home to go for a short walk. She was tragically killed by an act of violence. A male has been charged with murder.

More than 600 women are assaulted each day. We need to fight back. We need to step up. We need to advocate for a world where women are safe and free to live boldly and fearlessly.

Vanessa’s senseless death fuels our need to speak out and to help others. We are making great strides. We’re achieving our goals by partnering with organizations that provide educational programs and mentorship opportunities to promote female empowerment and gender equality. We believe these efforts will ultimately help reduce violence against women in our society. We are just getting started! By joining this important cause, we can work together to make a difference. And we know that Vanessa would want us to do so.
