We men will have to get used to seeing the adjective female-run or all-female in various businesses, stores, restaurants, and even in the future in governments or large companies, it is a seal of quality that will be recognized in the not too distant future. Great!
Great for women to gain professional skills, and men to become more involved in domestic work!

Ursula Von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas Endorsed by EU Leaders
Women are on track to hold two of the top three European Union (EU) leadership positions. By a two-thirds majority, EU leaders have agreed to endorse European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for a second five-year term and Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas as the EU’s top diplomat. Antonio Costa, the former prime minister of Portugal, will lead the European Council as president. Far-right politicians, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, have been vocal critiques of the three nominations. “My aim is definitely to work for European unity, protect European interests,” said Kallas on her new role. Both Von der Leyen and Kallas will have to win the backing of the European Parliament in a secret ballot before their positions are secured.
Indigenous Women Save Tribe From Extinction Indigenous women in Brazil’s Amazonas state are leading efforts to save the Juma tribe from extinction. Before the last male member of the tribe—Aruka Juma—died in 2021, he urged his three daughters to assume leadership of the patriarchal society. Today, despite being on the brink of extinction, the Juma has made a comeback with the first woman chief in this part of the Amazon. One of the sisters, Mandeí Juma became the first chief, only recently stepping down so that her older sister Boreá could assume the role. “Because we were few, people didn’t recognize us, didn’t respect us,” she said. “There had never been a woman leader before, and then people came to tell me, ‘You shouldn’t have assumed it because you’re a woman.’” Since being led by women, the Juma people have challenged patrilineal traditions among Indigenous Brazilians and worked to preserve their indigenous language.
Women-Led Police Stations Provide Women Protection from Violence
To combat increasing levels of violence against women, Kazakhstan is introducing women-led police stations throughout the country. These stations will provide a safe, protective space for victims of gender-based violence. In the last few years, the number of inspectors dedicated to working with women who have experienced violence has doubled, with over 280 female investigators now in place. The chair of the lower house of parliament, Yerlan Koshanov, emphasized the need to also focus on efforts that prevent violence from occurring in the first place. “...The distorted idea of complete male dominance in the family must become a thing of the past. It is necessary to instill the right values in the minds of the younger generation from school, form a legal culture among the population, show intolerance to any manifestations of domestic vandalism, and strictly follow the rules of law and order,” he said.
For more women as Head of Governments, give your like, please!!
Vatican Urges for More Participation by Women Pope Francis has ended a month-long meeting on the future of the Catholic Church with an “urgent” message on increasing the participation and responsibilities of women in the church. Three hundred bishops, nuns, and approximately seventy laypeople—including women—participated, with many having voting rights for the first time. Still, critics were disappointed that any potential decision on major issues, including allowing women to serve as deacons, was pushed until next year. The meeting also failed to make progress on issues involving the LGBTQ Catholic community, such as allowing for blessings for same-sex marriages. The assembly will reconvene next October to review the results of two commissions that will study the female diaconate before issuing recommendations for the church. Pope Francis will then issue a major papal letter, possibly making substantial changes to the church.
Women to Gain Seats in India’s Government This week, the Indian government passed the Women’s Reservation Bill to guarantee a third of seats in India's lower house of parliament and state legislative assemblies for women. Women account for almost half of the registered voters in India but make up only 15 percent of parliament and about 10 percent of state legislatures. This bill was proposed decades ago but was delayed due to opposition from some Hindi heartland political parties, preventing its approval from both houses of parliament and a majority of state legislatures. Its revival is expected to boost the rating of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party among women before the general elections are held this May. "We want more and more women to join the development process of the country," Modi told a special five-day parliamentary session.
MEXICO IS SURE TO BE RULED BY A WOMAN, A GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW...
Two Women Candidates Set to Compete for Mexico’s Presidency
Mexico appears to be on track to elect its first woman president next year after its two leading political parties announced female candidates. Claudia Sheinbaum, a former Mexico City mayor who is close to Mexico’s current President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, will represent the ruling left-wing Morena party. She will be challenged by Xóchitl Gálvez, a sitting senator with indigenous roots who has gained the support of many working-class and young Mexicans. Mexican women did not win full voting rights until 1953, thirty-three years after the United States. But Mexico has made significant progress. Currently, it shares a fourth-place ranking with New Zealand for having such a significant level of female representation in parliament. Mexico has also appointed its first female Supreme Court chief justice, among other high-level positions. While the prospect of a female head of state is a historical first for Mexico, many are concerned that this representation will fail to resolve the challenges faced by women, including high levels of femicides and gender-based violence, forced marriages, wage disparity, and under-representation in most boardrooms. Still, Mexican women’s rights activist Maricruz Ocampo said it “is going to signify a turn in the way that we see women in politics.”
WOMEN TAKE CHARGE IN ALL FIELDS IN SPAIN, ALSO IN SPORT
First Woman Coach of Spanish National Soccer Team The Spanish soccer federation has announced that Montse Tomé will serve as coach of the women’s national soccer team. This is the first time a woman will be the head coach. Tomé is replacing Jorge Vilda, who was dismissed after facing years of criticism regarding his coaching style. In a move that drew widespread criticism, Vilda also recently came out in support of federation president Luis Rubiales, who kissed one of Spain’s female players—Jenni Hermoso—on the lips without her consent. In the aftermath of Spain’s World Cup win, Tomé—who was one of Vilda’s coaching assistants—initially resigned from her position in solidarity with Hermoso. In a statement announcing her appointment, the soccer federation said that Tomé has “established herself as a key player in the national team’s growth.” Her first game in charge of the team will take place on Friday, September 22.
Great news!!
Women’s Empowerment Initiative in Pakistan
This week, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif launched the Initiative for Women Empowerment, which will provide approximately $40 million (Rs 10.4 billion) to efforts aimed at securing women’s rights in Pakistan. In particular, the funds will be used on issues including inheritance rights and creating opportunities in a conducive environment to empower women’s meaningful participation in society. “Look around the Muslims world and the West, the women have played their due role for the progress and prosperity of their respective nations.” He went on to say, “The women segment of our society is the driving engine for the country’s economy and serve as builders of nation.” Women in Pakistan continue to struggle with a lack of opportunity and resources. The Pakistan Population Council has reported that 48 percent of women in the country are illiterate, 79 percent are not in the workforce, and only 10 percent are able to make decisions about their own health.
More women should lead the world!
Participants Look to Address Challenges in South Sudan and Across Africa
This week, nearly four hundred female leaders from fifteen African countries gathered in Juba, South Sudan, for the first ever International Conference on Women’s Transformational Leadership. The conference—supported by the United Nations—was focused on addressing challenges impacting women and girls in South Sudan and across Africa. Participants discussed issues such as political participation and leadership, climate change, access to education, and barriers to participation in the economy. “We need to build a movement for transformational leadership, and South Sudan is a good place to start,” said Amina Mohammed, the UN deputy secretary-general, emphasizing the need for continual growth in the number of women in government. “We need women to participate in finding solutions that work for all. Together, we can turn ambitions into action.”
Leadership of women is clearly the future!!
Women are designed to rule the World!
Gender Equality Law Promotes Female Employment
Sierra Leone passed landmark legislation last week aimed at advancing women’s rights. “[N]ow that we have a stable and peaceful Sierra Leone, we cannot afford to have women, who make up 52% of our population, not featuring prominently in politics and leadership,” said Sierra Leone President Julius Maada Bio. The law, called the Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment Act (GEWE), requires public and private employers to reserve 30 percent of jobs for women, including leadership positions, and stipulates that 30 percent of candidates put forward by any political party for parliamentary and local elections must be female. It also extends maternity leave to fourteen weeks, mandates equal pay, and grants women equal access to financial support and training opportunities, among other provisions. The law includes significant repercussions for failure to comply. Manty Tarawalli, minister of gender and children’s affairs, lauded the GEWE, but noted, “[M]ore steps will have to be taken before the country can say fairness has been achieved across the genders.”
We men, should find the way to SERVE ALWAYS WOMEN, both in the spiritual way as in the link I include, but also in the material way, beside the Woman we are married to, serving and obeying her. The woman is the natural leader of a couple, no doubt in it, best wishes!
These girls and women are very brave! congratulations to all of them!
Nice to read! For me she was a great woman, capable of renouncing a life of sin, and giving herself totally to Jesus, she was a great disciple, stronger than many men and disciples who accompanied Jesus, her courage was to recognise her mistakes and correct them, she is an example of a woman leader in this sense...
PAY EQUITY IS EVERYONE’S ISSUE
“We all have to own this conversation— women and men. If it’s women just talking about this, we’re going to be talking about it for a very long time and not making any progress. We need men to be actively engaged, partnering with women … [Pay equity] is not a favor, it should be a given and it’s good for business.”
