What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Rejecting the Erasure of Afghan Women and Girls Act," seeks to address the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan. It requires the Secretary of State to create a formal report regarding the restrictions imposed by the Taliban since August 2021. This report must be submitted to specific congressional committees within 180 days of the act being passed. The report must describe current restrictions and provide a determination on specific legal categories. These categories include crimes against humanity, torture, and gross violations of human rights.
