Junia was a Christian woman at Rome, mentioned by Paul as one of his kinsfolk and fellow prisoners.
She was an apostle according to this verse of Scripture and an apostle is one who can speak , edify, build up etc and to do that an apostle must be able to speak to both men and women .
Apostle is often used to build a church, so would be leading men and correcting men.

Firstly it is a pure assumption Junia is a woman. Many names suit either sex.
Second it does NOT say she was an Apostle it says she was note AMONG the Apostles. I am note among painters I am not a painter. I am note among electricians I am not an electrician. I am not among bankers I am not a banker.
There is NOT the slightest Biblical evidence Junia was a preacher in the five-fold ministry since all saved folks preach or should to the unsaved.
