Protect Women's and Girls’ Rights in Afghanistan Act of 2021

The Protect Women's and Girls’ Rights in Afghanistan Act of 2021 would require the U.S. Department of State to provide regular reports to Congress regarding the treatment and status of women and girls in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces. These reports would specifically evaluate whether the Taliban is upholding its international commitments to protect human rights, including access to education, healthcare, and participation in civil society. By establishing this formal oversight, the bill aims to ensure the U.S. government remains informed on the safety and legal rights of Afghan women to help guide future foreign policy and humanitarian decisions.
