Accountability for Sexual and Gender-based Violence as a Tool in Conflict Act of 2019 This bill provides for sanctions against foreign persons responsible for conflict-related acts of sexual and gender-based violence.

Foreign government officials and their immediate family members who have been involved in significant corruption involving sexual or gender-based violence shall be ineligible to enter the United States. The bill also expands existing foreign-assistance-related reporting requirements to include information on conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence.
