From the Feminist Weekly News:
The omnibus spending bill passed by Congress and sent to the White House yesterday includes $75,000,000 for programs that aid Afghan women and girls. The final language in the bill also requires that the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC), the Afghan Ministry of Women’s Affairs (MOWA), and Afghan women-led nonprofit organizations receive funding. The final bill restores the language originally passed by the House. The Senate language watered down the House-passed language requiring funding for Afghan women and girls and eliminated the AIHRC and the MOWA altogether as recipients of this bill.
