    This Act may be cited as the ``Protecting Girls' Access to 
Education in Vulnerable Settings Act'' or the ``Protecting Girls' 
Access to Education Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) At the start of 2017, more than 65 million people have 
        been displaced by disasters and conflicts around the world, the 
        highest number recorded since the end of World War II, of which 
        more than 21 million people are refugees.
            (2) More than half of the population of displaced people 
        are children and, according to the United Nations High 
        Commissioner for Refugees, nearly 4 million school-aged 
        displaced children lack access to primary education.
            (3) Education offers socioeconomic opportunities, 
        psychological stability, and physical protection for displaced 
        people, particularly for women and girls, who might otherwise 
        be vulnerable to severe forms of trafficking in persons (as 
        such term is defined in section 103(9) of the Trafficking 
        Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7103(9))), child 
        marriage, sexual exploitation, or economic disenfranchisement, 
        and contributes to long-term recovery and economic 
        opportunities for displaced people and for the communities 
        hosting them.
            (4) Displaced children face considerable barriers to 
        accessing educational services and, because the duration of 
        such displacement is, on average, 20 years, such children may 
        spend the entirety of their childhood without access to such 
        services.
            (5) Despite the rising need for such services, less than 2 
        percent of global emergency aid was directed toward educational 
        services in 2016.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) it is critical to ensure that children, particularly 
        girls, displaced by conflicts overseas are able to access 
        educational services because such access can combat extremism 
        and reduce exploitation and poverty; and
            (2) the educational needs of vulnerable women and girls 
        should be considered in the design, implementation, and 
        evaluation of related United States foreign assistance policies 
        and programs.

SEC. 4. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States to--
            (1) partner with and encourage other countries, public and 
        private multilateral institutions, and nongovernmental and 
        civil society organizations, including faith-based 
        organizations and organizations representing parents and 
        children, to support efforts to ensure that displaced children 
        have access to safe primary and secondary education;
            (2) work with donors to enhance training and capacity-
        building for the governments of countries hosting significant 
        numbers of displaced people to design, implement, and monitor 
        programs to effectively address barriers to such education;
            (3) incorporate into the design and implementation of such 
        programs measures to evaluate the impact of the programs on 
        girls, with respect to the reduction of child marriage, gender-
        based violence, and severe forms of trafficking in persons (as 
        such term is defined in section 103(9) of the Trafficking 
        Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7103(9))); and
            (4) coordinate with the governments of countries hosting 
        significant numbers of displaced people to--
                    (A) promote the inclusion of displaced children 
                into the educational systems of such countries; and
                    (B) develop innovative approaches to providing safe 
                primary and secondary educational opportunities in 
                circumstances in which such inclusion is not possible 
                or appropriate, such as schools that permit more 
                children to be educated by extending the hours of 
                schooling and expanding the number of teachers.

        especially displaced girls, to educational, economic, and 
        entrepreneurial opportunities, including through the
