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. 

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 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.

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.  

Things are improving!

These girls and women are very brave! congratulations to all of them!
