SEC. 142. WOMEN'S HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION.

(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.-The Congress makes the following declarations:

(1) The State Department should designate a senior advisor to the appropriate Undersecretary to promote international women's human rights within the overall human rights policy of the United States Government.

(2) The purpose of assigning a special assistant on women's human rights issues is not 56 to segregate such issues, but rather to assure that they are considered along with other human rights issues in the development of United States foreign policy.

(3) A specifically designated special assistant is necessary because, 56 within the human rights field and the foreign policy establishment, the issues of gender-based discrimination and violence against women have long been ignored or made invisible.

(4) The Congress believes that abuses against women would have greater visibility and protection of women's human rights would improve if the advocate were responsible for integrating women's human rights issues into United States foreign policy, bilateral assistance, multilateral diplomacy, trade policy, and democracy promotion.

(b) 57 CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION.-Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall notify the Congress of the steps taken to fulfill the objectives detailed in subsection (a).
