This week, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Caucus on Capitol Hill, led by U.S. Reps. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., and Michael Waltz, R-Fla., sent a letter to U.S. Sec. of State Anthony Blinken to encourage the U.S. State Department to work closely with, and promote the inclusion of, Afghan women leaders and organizations in all future efforts to bring peace, stability, and prosperity to Afghanistan.

“The resolution reaffirms the United States’ commitment to global leadership in increasing women’s meaningful participation in processes to prevent, manage, resolve, and recover from conflict, in accordance with the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017,” Frankel’s office noted. 

Back in March, U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., and U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., formed the caucus “which will focus on the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda and the importance of women’s inclusion in security efforts to maintain peace worldwide.”

U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., and U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., launched the new caucus on Monday.
