To require a report that describes the current restrictions imposed by the Taliban on women and girls in Afghanistan since August 2021.

# Summary of HR 7669 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 7669 would require the U.S. government to produce a detailed report documenting the restrictions that the Taliban has imposed on women and girls in Afghanistan since taking control of the country in August 2021. The report would describe the current conditions and limitations these groups face under Taliban rule. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** This bill would primarily affect Afghan women and girls by directing attention to their circumstances, though it creates no direct aid or intervention programs. The legislation would require a U.S.

government agency (likely the State Department) to compile and publish findings about Taliban restrictions on areas such as education, employment, healthcare, freedom of movement, and other rights. The bill essentially mandates documentation and public reporting rather than proposing new policies or funding. **Current Status** As of now, HR 7669 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA).
