As women, we spend 50% of our time strategizing how to stay safe.
Imagine if we could free up that time so we can contribute to the things that really matter: education, economic empowerment, community building, and making a better world.
Pretty Deadly's mission is to help millions of women across the globe do just that, through accessible, user-focused self defense.
Every Pretty Deadly class pays it forward.
Our Outreach Programs are the heart and soul of Pretty Deadly Self Defense. All of our paid programming funds our volunteer efforts to bring self defense to the most vulnerable people.
Pretty Deadly Outreach is divided into four categories, and adapted for each situation based on input from our expert trainers, professionals in the field, and stakeholders themselves:

Self defense for women in refugee communities

Self defense for domestic abuse survivors

Self defense for homeless women

Self defense for human trafficking survivors

CORE VALUES
At Pretty Deadly, we believe bodily autonomy is a basic human right, and everyone has a right to occupy their own space.
Our values are at the core of everything we do, the partnerships we form and even the suppliers we work with, while recognizing that upholding and maintaining values is a fluid, evolutionary process where static mindsets can delay and even derail our growth.
• Equality
• Diversity
• Intersectionality
• Inclusivity
• Community Responsibility
