Mission

The Women’s Commission works to make sure all women-identifying, non-binary, and/or assigned-female-at-birth individuals have equal rights, opportunities, and access to services.

The Commission does this by sharing information, giving advice, doing research, hosting educational programs, reviewing policies, and speaking up for women’s issues to improve lives and opportunities in Baltimore.

Vision

The Baltimore Commission for Women will be established in the community as a resource for those that they serve to assist them in accessing information and services intended to improve their lives and the lives of their families. The Commission will empower women-identifying, non-binary, and/or assigned-female-at-birth individuals through education and coordination of opportunities. The Commission will ensure that barriers to equal rights and opportunities for those that they serve will be reduced, with the eventual goal of eliminating such barriers throughout Baltimore City.
