18,000+ Afghans in the U.S. since 2021 are women. Many of them have advanced degrees or previous careers as women leaders or human rights defenders. The #AfghanAdjustmentAct would help guarantee they can continue studying and practicing their professions in the U.S. #ISupportAAA
Q5: How does the #AfghanAdjustmentAct promote women's rights for Afghan newcomers? #ISupportAAA
