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.”
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.”

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!
