Expresses the sense of Congress that the President should instruct the United States Representative to the United Nations (UN) to use all appropriate means to prevent any Taliban-led government in Afghanistan from obtaining the seat in the UN General Assembly reserved for Afghanistan as long as gross violations of internationally recognized human rights against women and girls persist. Calls for the United States to refuse to recognize any government in Afghanistan which is not taking actions to achieve the following goals: (1) the effective participation of women in all civic, economic, and social life; (2) the right of women to work; (3) the right of women and girls to an education without discrimination; (4) freedom of movement for women and girls; and (5) equal access for women and girls to health facilities and humanitarian aid.
