WASHINGTON, D.C. – Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) today announced that Meaghan Mobbs, director of the Center for American Safety and Security at IWF, will testify before the House Oversight and Accountability about the impact of the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous foreign policy agenda.
The hearing, titled “A Legacy of Incompetence: Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Policy Failures,” will begin at 10:00 a.m. ET on September 19.
In her testimony, Mobbs writes, in part: “The core duty of any government is to protect its people. Yet, over the last four years, the world has only grown more dangerous. Under the current administration, we have witnessed the largest attack on a European nation in 85 years and the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. History has been made by the number of full and partial U.S. Embassy evacuations around the world. The United Nations concurs that ‘the world is facing the highest number of conflicts since World War II.’”
Mobbs’ testimony addresses:
- The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine
- The Biden-Harris administration’s catastrophic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan; and
- The ever-evolving threats of Iran and China.
Mobbs also highlights the impact the Biden-Harris administration’s foreign policy is having on women and girls, writing in part, “The United Nations reported a 50 percent increase in verified cases of conflict-related sexual violence from 2022 to 2023. Both state and non-state armed groups have systematically targeted civilians with acts of sexual violence, including rape, gang rape, and abduction, amidst unprecedented levels of global migration and displacement.”
Mobbs continues, “This violence has not only devastated the lives of individual victims but has also had far-reaching societal consequences, severely limiting women’s livelihoods and restricting girls’ access to education in many countries around the world. This is particularly true in Afghanistan where, as one young woman described, women and girls have lost ‘all their hope in the world.’”
Mobbs is referring to IW Features’ recent documentary titled “Abandoned — How Life Went Dark for Afghan Women.”
“During the 118th Congress, the House Oversight Committee has examined crises originating from the Biden-Harris Administration’s policies and poor leadership that are hurting Americans across our nation, including skyrocketing inflation, the worst border crisis in American history, high energy prices, chaos around the world, and rampant waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement at federal agencies,” said House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky). “Simply put, everything President Biden and Vice President Harris touches fails. As part of our oversight of the Biden-Harris Administration’s failed policies and self-inflicted crises, the Oversight Committee has identified solutions for the American people.”
