Wa 'alaykumussalaam warahmatullaah,
Ibn Qudamah has quoted the difference of opinion on whether congregation for women is recommended, and then says about their leader: “
The one who leads them should stand in the middle of the row. We do not know of a difference of opinion on this among those who support that one women may lead others in congregation. Since it is recommended for the women to be covered, ….. standing in the middle of the row makes it a better covering for her from the sides.”(Al-Mughni, 2/202)
The author of Al-Muhadhdhab (4/295) says: “It is sunnah that the leader of women in congregation stand in the middle of them as narrated about ‘Aa’ishah and Umm Salmah that they lead women and stood in the middle of their row.”
For further details refer to Jaami‘ Ahkaam Al-Nisaa’ by Al-‘Adawi (1/351).
And Allaah knows what is most correct and best.

To summarise, it is permissible for women to pray in their own congregation whether it is for the need you mentioned or even if the need isn't there.
And Allaah knows what is most correct and best.
