Such does not prevent the "order" for it is stated that at that earliest conflict (Acts 6) the Hellenistic women apparently appealed through the men and the men brought the matter before the authorities (apostles). The Hellenistic women didn't speak directly to the assembly even when they were not treated appropriately.

Thanks, however I do not find that as an answer to my question.

Why?

Is the answer in some manner objectionable, or perhaps incomplete.

If the earliest account of Greek women seeking redress for some grievance doesn't answer the questions of how women that are widows and orphans find a voice for their need, what further information do you seek?

Yes, Act 6 opens with; a complaint of neglect of widows in the daily ministration.

Acts.6
[1] And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

Yes, you mention women seeking redress.

HOW were these complaints solved?

The scriptures teach that the matter was apparently shared with the men of the Greek community, who brought the problem to the attention of the earliest church leadership.

The results were the selecting of the first seven deacons, who were the to be the go to guys to attend to such matters.

I'm uncertain of your question, and that may be the cause of confusion.

Sufficiently answered. Thank you.
