Rejecting the Erasure of Afghan Women and Girls Act

This legislative proposal requires the Secretary of State to submit a comprehensive report to Congress within 180 days of its enactment. The primary purpose of this report is to meticulously describe the current restrictions imposed by the Taliban on women and girls in Afghanistan since August 2021. Furthermore, the report must include a critical determination regarding the nature of these restrictions. Specifically, it needs to assess whether the described actions qualify as crimes against humanity , torture as defined by the Convention against Torture, or gross violations of human rights under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. This provision aims to officially categorize the severity of the Taliban's policies and provide a basis for potential international action or policy responses.
