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.

A Notable Example Is Maria Quitéria de Jesus, Who Fought in the Brazilian Army During the War of Independence, Disguised as a Man

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.

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.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

Federal Police involved in the case to identify the person responsible for hacking the Civil Defense system, which sent ten false alerts, frightened residents of different capitals, and turned messages about real risks into notifications with “misanthropy” and even alien attacks.

Extreme drought causes ghost village to reappear at the bottom of the reservoir that supplies Athens, revealing houses, a school, and ruins swallowed since the 1980s as the lake shrinks and exposes the water crisis threatening the capital of Greece.

Camaro may reappear in 2027, but not as you remember: Chevrolet prepares the return of the icon with four doors, manual transmission, and an extreme performance version to face the new era of sports cars.

In Virginia, a family of small-scale farmers refused to swap the countryside for the city and transformed their milk production into award-winning artisanal cheese from Mantiqueira de Minas.

Space technology used to search for water on Mars is now hunting for invisible leaks under the streets of São Paulo, using satellites, AI, and chlorine signals to help Sabesp recover up to 6.7 billion liters of water.
