Women's Rights Protection: No Aid to Gender-Discriminatory Countries

This act aims to stop US financial aid to countries that discriminate against or criminalize individuals based on gender. This means governments of such nations will not receive support if their laws restrict women's access to education, freedom of movement, religious practice, or allow cruel practices. Exceptions are only possible if vital to US national security interests.
Key points
The US will withhold financial aid from countries with laws that discriminate against women, for example, by limiting their access to education, driving, religious freedom, or travel without a male escort.
The act prohibits supporting countries that authorize female genital mutilation, sexual abuse, beheading, or other practices targeting women's lives.
The US President can authorize aid in exceptional cases if it is vital for US national security, with a briefing to Congress.
