(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) According to the Department of Defense’s 
April 2012 Report on Progress Toward Security and 
Stability in Afghanistan: 
(A) ‘‘U.S. and coalition forces will continue 
to degrade the Taliban-led insurgency in order to 
provide time and space to increase the capacity

of the Afghan National Security Forces and the 
Afghan Government so they can assume full re-
sponsibility for Afghanistan’s security by the end 
of 2014.’’ 
(B) ‘‘Transition to Afghan security lead 
began in July 2011 and transition to full Af-
ghan security responsibility will be complete 
country-wide by the end of 2014.’’ 
(C) ‘‘The security of the Afghan people and 
the stability of the government are used to judge 
provincial readiness to move to each successive 
stage of transition implementation.’’ 
(D) For each area designated for transition, 
a transition implementation plan is developed 
by the Government of Afghanistan, NATO, and 
ISAF and approved by the Joint Afghan-NATO 
Inteqal Board (JANIB). JANIB is also respon-
sible for recommending areas to enter and exit 
the transition process. 
(2) According to a 2002 study on Women, Peace 
and Security submitted by the Secretary-General of 
the United Nations pursuant to Security Council res-
olution 1325 (2000), ‘‘the suspension of or restriction 
on women’s enjoyment of their human rights’’ can act 
as an early-warning indicator of impending or re-

newed conflict. In Afghanistan, restrictions on wom-
en’s mobility and rights can signal the presence of ex-
tremist or insurgent elements in a community. 
(3) The security of Afghan women and girls in 
areas undergoing security transitions will be an im-
portant gauge of the transition strategy’s success. In-
dicators by which to measure women’s security in-
clude the mobility of women and girls, the participa-
tion of women in local government bodies, the rate of 
school attendance for girls, women’s access to govern-
ment services, and the prevalence of violence against 
women. 
(4) Maintaining and improving physical secu-
rity for Afghan women and girls throughout the coun-
try is critical in order for women and girls to take 
advantage of opportunities in education, commerce, 
politics, and other areas of public life, which in turn 
is essential for the future stability and prosperity of 
Afghanistan. 
(5) Women who serve as public officials at all 
levels of the Government of Afghanistan face serious 
threats to their personal security and that of their 
families. Many female officials have been the victims 
of violent crimes, but they are generally not afforded

official protection by the Government of Afghanistan 
or security forces. 
(6) Protecting the security and human rights of 
Afghan women and girls requires the involvement of 
Afghan men and boys through education about the 
important benefits of women’s full participation in 
social, economic, and political life. Male officials and 
security personnel can play a particularly important 
role in supporting and protecting women and girls. 
(7) The Chicago Summit Declaration issued by 
NATO in May 2012 states: ‘‘As the Afghan National 
Police further develop and professionalize, they will 
evolve towards a sustainable, credible, and account-
able civilian law enforcement force that will shoulder 
the main responsibility for domestic security. This 
force should be capable of providing policing services 
to the Afghan population as part of the broader Af-
ghan rule of law system.’’ 
(8) Women face significant barriers to full par-
ticipation in the ANA and ANP, including a dis-
criminatory or hostile work environment and the lack 
of separate facilities designed for female personnel. 
(9) As of September 2012, female recruitment 
and retention rates for the Afghan National Security 
Forces are far below published targets, as follows:

(A) Approximately 1,700 women serve in 
the Afghan National Security Forces, or less 
than half of one percent of the total force. 
(B) In 2010, President Hamid Karzai an-
nounced plans to recruit and train 5,000 women 
in the Afghan National Police, or approximately 
3 percent of the force, by 2014. Currently, there 
are approximately 1,370 women in the ANP, or 
0.87 percent of the police force. 
(C) Approximately 350 women currently 
serve in the Afghan National Army, representing 
only 0.17 percent of the force. The Government 
of Afghanistan has said that its goal is to 
achieve a force that is 10 percent female. As of 
May 2012, approximately 3 percent of new ANA 
recruits were women. 
(10) Male security personnel often do not re-
spond to threats or incidences of violence against 
women, particularly at the local level. They largely 
lack the training and understanding needed to re-
spond appropriately and effectively to situations in-
volving women. According to the Department of De-
fense’s April 2012 Report on Progress Toward Secu-
rity and Stability in Afghanistan:

(A) The Afghan Ministry of Defense ‘‘lacks 
the combination of policies, procedures, and exe-
cution to promote opportunity and fair and re-
spectful treatment of women in the force’’. 
(B) The Afghan Ministry of Interior ‘‘faces 
significant challenges in fully integrating and 
protecting women in the ANP workforce, espe-
cially among operational units at the provincial 
and district levels’’. 
(C) In the Afghan National Police, ‘‘Many 
Provincial Headquarters Commanders do not ac-
cept policewomen, as they prefer male candidates 
and lack adequate facilities to support females.’’ 
(D) ‘‘While women are greatly needed to 
support police operations, a combination of cul-
tural impediments, weak recruitment, and un-
even application of policies hinder significant 
progress.’’ 
(E) ‘‘Although stronger documentation, im-
plementation, and enforcement of policies, proce-
dures, and guidance to better integrate women 
will help, time will be needed to change the cul-
tural mores that form the basis of many of the 
current impediments.’’

(11) The United States, the North American 
Treaty Organization, and United States coalition 
partners have made firm commitments to support the 
human rights of the women and girls of Afghanistan, 
as evidenced by the following actions: 
(A) According to the United States National 
Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, 
‘‘integrating women and gender considerations 
into peace-building processes helps promote 
democratic governance and long-term stability,’’ 
which are key United States strategic goals in 
Afghanistan. 
(B) The National Action Plan also states 
that ‘‘the engagement and protection of women 
as agents of peace and stability will be central 
to United States efforts to promote security, pre-
vent, respond to, and resolve conflict, and rebuild 
societies.’’ This policy applies to United States 
Government efforts in Afghanistan, where ad-
dressing the security vulnerabilities of Afghan 
women and girls during the period of security 
transition is an essential step toward long-term 
stability.

remain committed to the implementation of 
United Nations Security Council Resolution 
(UNSCR) 1325 on women, peace and security. 
We recognize also the need for the protection of 
children from the damaging effects of armed con-
flict as required in relevant UNSCRs.’’ 
(12) The Strategic Partnership Agreement signed 
between the United States and Afghanistan by Presi-
dent Obama and President Karzai in June 2012 
states, ‘‘Consistent with its Constitution and inter-
national obligations, Afghanistan shall ensure and 
advance the essential role of women in society, so that 
they may fully enjoy their economic, social, political, 
civil and cultural rights.’’

(2) Hamas has been designated by the Secretary 
of State as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. 
(3) Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza 
have routinely used human shields and launched rock-
ets from civilian areas. 
(4) Israel has gone to extraordinary lengths to 
avoid Palestinian civilian casualties, including 
aborting attacks on military targets because of the 
presence of civilians, alerting civilians to leave areas 
of potential conflict, and allowing the importation of 
medical and other supplies into Gaza. 
(5) Israel faces additional rocket and missile 
threats from Lebanon and Syria. 
(6) The Government of Iran has supplied Hamas 
with advanced longer range missiles such as the 
Fajar-5. 
(7) Hamas has deployed these weapons to be 
fired from within their own civilian population. 
(8) The Government of Israel, taking seriously 
the threat of short range rockets and mortars, de-
signed, developed, and produced the Iron Dome sys-
tem to address those threats. 
(9) The Iron Dome system has successfully inter-
cepted hundreds of rockets targeting population cen-
ters in Israel.

(10) The Iron Dome system has maintained a 
success rate of close to 90 percent. 
(11) The Government of Israel currently main-
tains 5 Iron Dome batteries, a number insufficient to 
protect all of Israel. 
(12) It appears that approximately 10 addi-
tional Iron Dome batteries are needed to protect all 
of Israel. 
(13) The United States Government, recognizing 
the threat to Israeli citizens and desirous of pro-
moting peace, approved funding to assist the Govern-
ment of Israel in procuring Iron Dome batteries. 
(14) Israel maintains a significant inventory of 
Iron Dome interceptors which has been reduced due to 
attacks from Gaza. 
(15) Israel used a significant number of preci-
sion-guided munitions in order to destroy military 
targets while minimizing civilian casualties in its re-
cent defensive effort in Gaza.

intention to seek additional funding for Iron Dome 
and other United States-Israel missile defense sys-
tems.
