Columbus Conversation for Women’s History Month

It has been almost six decades since the Equal Pay Act was passed and the 1964 Civil Rights Act outlawed discrimination in pay based on race, sex, color, national origin and religion, yet women who work full-time in the U.S. still make an average of 83 cents for every dollar paid to men. 

The pay gap is even wider for women of color, mothers of young children and women with disabilities.

So what is being done to support and further women’s progress?

These topics and others be explored in the next Columbus Conversation, “How can we empower and advance women in Columbus?” at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 29.  

Hosted by Dispatch Opinion and Community Engagement Editor Amelia Robinson, the free discussion will be streamed live on the newspaper’s Facebook page and in this story.
