The Brazilian Army Announced That, Starting in 2025, Women Will Be Able to Enlist in the Military Service. This Historic Decision Was Made by the Ministry of Defense, with Support from the Military Commanders.

So far, women could only join the Brazilian Army through preparatory schools or public competitions, working in areas such as health, logistics and maintenance of weapons and vehicles. With the new decision, they will be able to enlist directly, just like men.

The inclusion of women in the Armed Forces began in the 1980s, but always in a limited way. Now, with female enlistment, a gradual increase in the female contingent is expected. The Minister of Defense, José Múcio, stated that the initial expectation is for 20% of the total vacancies to be reserved for women. However, female enlistment will be voluntary, not mandatory, as it is for men.

Her skills and discipline in battle made her a national heroine. Another example is the women who volunteered in World War II, serving as nurses and caring for Brazilian soldiers on the battlefields in Italy.

This change brings to light debates about gender equality and civic obligations. Many believe that women have the right to serve in the Brazilian Army, and Brazil’s history shows the crucial role women have played in times of war.

With the New Decision, Young Women Who Dream of Joining the Military Will Have the Opportunity to Experience This Through Enlistment

However, the issue of mandatory female enlistment is still controversial. Some argue that, in the name of equality, women should also be required to enlist, while others believe that enlistment should remain voluntary.

Starting in 2025, Brazilian women will have the chance to be part of the Brazilian Army, contributing to the security and sovereignty of the country. This historic decision marks an important advance in inclusion and gender equality in the Armed Forces.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

The United States Army has an armored vehicle that reaches speeds of up to 100 km/h, capable of operating normally on different types of terrain and also on asphalt without causing damage; equipped with a 350 hp engine, it can transport up to 9 soldiers — meet the Stryker.

Man loses his job, faces a 55,000 km bike ride through more than 50 countries, endures desert, heat of 51 degrees, accidents, and isolation on a journey that began with the goal of reaching India.

If you are obtaining or renewing your driver’s license, you need to know this now: a new law divides the fee into stages, and those who choose only the digital license will not have to pay for the printed document in 2026.

These living root bridges and ladders are over 700 years old and help indigenous people survive in one of the rainiest regions in the world.

The largest food company on the planet, JBS, has just opened a 4,000 square meter laboratory in Florianópolis to develop customized proteins that modulate muscle mass gain, immune response, and metabolic performance.

After nearly 30 bids and competition among industry giants, a Spanish company purchases one of the largest airports in Brazil for almost R$ 3 billion and takes over the management of Galeão in a concession that will last until 2039.

The car stored for 38 years: when opening the barn door, what appears is breathtaking and looks like a scene from a movie!
