Pope Francis made a big change and appointed Sister Simona Brambilla to lead a major Vatican department. She’s the first woman to ever hold this job. Sister Brambilla is a missionary and she’s going to be in charge of all religious orders around the world. This appointment is seen as a really important move to give women more power in the Catholic Church.
Also the United Nations shared good news that many countries are doing better in making things more fair for women. They measured progress in things like education getting to vote and jobs. These improvements are because of work on a global scale as well as changes made in individual countries. The UN is still working with many groups to keep this progress going.
Both these announcements show a shift toward including more women in leadership. Whether it’s in the church or across the world, these actions highlight that women can lead and do great things. These are two separate steps that matter on a global level and affect women in many different situations.
