Columbus continues to lead in the gender equity space as we become the first city to offer free period products in our major sporting venues. While this is a significant step forward in the journey toward gender equity, the Columbus Women's Commission, in partnership with organizations like Aunt Flow and IgniteHer Columbus, remains committed to creating communities where all residents can thrive!

Today we celebrate Women’s Equality Day, marking the 106th anniversary of the 19th amendment. While guaranteeing American women the constitutional right to vote was a significant stride in progress towards gender equity, women continue to face economic instability and inequities in the workplace. The Columbus Women’s Commission and IgniteHer initiative remain committed to achieving gender equity not just in sports, but in our entire community.

Columbus Financial Empowerment Center clients have reached another incredible milestone: reducing their non-mortgage debt by $4.6 million and saving $1.4 million! In September 2025, FEC clients achieved a milestone of reducing non-mortgage debt by $3 million, achieving a $1 million reduction of non-mortgage debt in just 6 months. These milestones are possible through the dedication of both the counselors and the clients to achieving financial goals together.

“During Women’s History Month, we remember and celebrate the strong women who have come before us, advocating for gender equity and paving the way for many of the opportunities we have as women today. While great strides have been made in the work towards gender equity, the work is far from over. Year-round, the Columbus Women’s Commission is committed to achieving gender equity in Columbus so all of our neighbors can thrive.” - Shannon Ginther, CWC Chair and First Lady of Columbus

On Thursday we recognized Women’s Equal Pay Day and the pay gap that women face. But gender equity goes beyond paychecks. It includes representation, access, and opportunity. Nowhere is this more evident than in sports. Women make up almost half of all college athletes, yet remain underrepresented in leadership roles and funding. While progress has been made across industries, in leadership, workplace benefits, investment, and opportunity, there is still work to do. IgniteHER Columbus is committed to opening doors for women and girls in sports, empowering them to shine on and off the court.

Yesterday we recognized Women’s Equal Pay Day which marks how far into the new year women must work to earn what their male counterparts earned in the previous year. Nationally, women earn $0.81 for every dollar earned by men. While, in Columbus, women earn $0.86 for every dollar earned by men.* While the wage gap is lower in Columbus than the national average, there is still work to be done. The Columbus Women’s Commission remains committed to ensuring women in Columbus are paid equitably.

*This calculation is based on 2024 estimated median earnings data provided by the United States Census Bureau.

Yesterday launched more than a brand. This is just the beginning of a movement to empower and uplift girls and women across Central Ohio both on and off the field. IgniteHER Columbus will foster investment in girls and women to lead on their teams, in their schools, and in the workplace. When women are empowered to lead, we begin to see real, positive change in our communities. Greater Columbus Sports Commission Experience Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther Columbus Crew
