Rep. Edwards Leading Efforts to Protect Afghan Women and Girls

12/10/12

In preparation to the military drawdown of forces in Afghanistan, Sen. Casey successfully included an Afghan women and girls security promotion amendment in the Senate NDAA bill, and led a letter to the conferees urging its inclusion in the final version of the bill. Congresswoman Edwards is leading this effort in the House of Representatives, organizing a House companion letter supporting the amendment. The amendment requires the Department of Defense to produce a plan to promote the security of Afghan women and girls during the transition process by monitoring and responding to changes in women’s security, improving gender awareness among Afghan National Security personnel, and increasing the recruitment and retention of women in the Afghan National Security Forces.
