It also would set up a potential confrontation with the White House, which has threatened a veto. The House voted 248-177 to approve the measure, sending it to the Senate, where a similar resolution passed last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have helped create, and worsen, the world's largest humanitarian crisis,\" said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, during the debate. \"Our involvement in this war, quite frankly, is shameful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee, Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., said the vote represents \"Congress reclaiming its role in foreign policy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate approval would set up a showdown with the administration over Trump's shifting approach on foreign policy. Lawmakers are quick to point out that Trump wants to withdraw troops from the wars in Syria and Afghanistan as part of his \"America First\" approach, but he has shown less interest in limiting the U.S. role in Yemen.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675343616/often-quiet-on-wars-congress-challenges-white-house-over-yemen\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NPR: Often Quiet On Wars, Congress Challenges White House Over Yemen\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675343616/often-quiet-on-wars-congress-challenges-white-house-over-yemen\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cimg src=\"https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2018/12/10/yemen2-12-10-18-ap_18336257029560_custom-86ae9f55439a8141109e73f7a5c0046c3c0322d0-s800-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The White House says the House resolution is \"flawed\" because U.S. troops are not directly involved in military action in the Yemen, where the coalition is fighting the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in a conflict largely seen as a proxy involving the Mideast's dominant regional players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2015, the administration says, the U.S. has provided support to the coalition, including intelligence and, until recently, aerial refueling, but it has not had forces involved in \"hostilities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress has not invoked the War Power Resolution, which requires approval of military actions, since it was enacted in 1973. Lawmakers approved more sweeping authorizations for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that some argue are being used too broadly for other military actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newly emboldened Democrats in the House eager to confront Trump on foreign policy, and Republicans in both chambers have shown a willingness to put a legislative check on the president's agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Khanna, who drafted the legislation with independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, said there's an emerging bipartisan alliance that's skeptical of military intervention without congressional oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the House, 18 Republicans, including members of the GOP's libertarian-leaning wing and Trump allies in the conservative Freedom Caucus, joined Democrats in passing the Yemen measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Wednesday's vote, the House overwhelmingly agreed to add an amendment offered by Republicans working to expose emerging Democratic divisions over support for Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amendment reaffirms the U.S. commitment \"to combat anti-Semitism around the world\" and says it's in the U.S.'s national security interest to oppose boycotts of Israel.

For example, according to Human Rights Watch, women have always needed permission from a male guardian, usually a father or husband, to leave the country. In the past, paper forms were required prior to travel. The Absher app makes this process a lot more convenient for Saudi men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really designed with the men in mind,” says Rothna Begum, a senior researcher on women’s rights at Human Rights Watch. “Of course, it’s incredibly demeaning, insulting and humiliating for the women, and downright abusive in many cases, because you’re allowing men absolute control over women’s movements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/absher-senator-ron-wyden-demands-apple-google-remove-saudi-govt-app-2019-2\">sent a letter\u003c/a> to both companies asking them to remove the app. “Saudi men can also reportedly use Absher to receive real-time text message alerts every time these women enter or leave the country or to prevent these women from leaving the country,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with NPR on Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook said he wasn’t aware of the app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t heard about it,” Cook said. “But obviously we’ll take a look at it if that’s the case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR also reached out to Google, but the company has not responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple and Google have faced previous controversies over apps in their stores. \u003ca href=\"https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/\">Both stores\u003c/a> have policies \u003ca href=\"https://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy-print/\">banning inappropriate content\u003c/a> such as the promotion of hate speech, graphic violence, bullying and harassment. The companies have \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/document/366675400/12-1-17-Letter-From-Rep-Lieu-to-Tim-Cook\">faced some backlash\u003c/a> over these policies, particularly around how they might impact small businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Begum, of Human Rights Watch, says she can see how the companies might not have initially realized that the app could be used for monitoring women. “It has other services that are quite generic and normal government services,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple and Google have different systems for flagging inappropriate apps. Apple prescreens apps, and Begum says Google relies on its users to alert it about violations. But, she says, each company needs to boost scrutiny of government-supported apps, especially when they are created by repressive regimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They should consider the human rights implications … especially when it’s offered by a government,” Begun says. “When they’re evaluating whether an app should be allowed … providers really should consider the broader context or the purpose of the app, how it’s being used in practice and whether it’s facilitating abuse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, Absher has also been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/11/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-women-flee.html\">helpful to a some women trying to escape \u003c/a>the repressive Saudi regime. Begum says some women have managed to secretly change the settings in the app on their male guardian’s phone so that it allows them to travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, she says, Google and Apple need to push back against the Saudi government and either disable the app entirely or disable the features that enable men to track women in their families. “By not saying anything, they’ve allowed the government to facilitate the abuse,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter to Google and Apple, Wyden wrote: “It is hardly news that the Saudi monarchy seeks to restrict and repress Saudi women, but American companies should not enable or facilitate the Saudi government’s patriarchy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

The Absher app makes this process a lot more convenient for Saudi men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really designed with the men in mind,” says Rothna Begum, a senior researcher on women’s rights at Human Rights Watch. “Of course, it’s incredibly demeaning, insulting and humiliating for the women, and downright abusive in many cases, because you’re allowing men absolute control over women’s movements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Ron Wyden, D-Ore., \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/absher-senator-ron-wyden-demands-apple-google-remove-saudi-govt-app-2019-2\">sent a letter\u003c/a> to both companies asking them to remove the app. “Saudi men can also reportedly use Absher to receive real-time text message alerts every time these women enter or leave the country or to prevent these women from leaving the country,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with NPR on Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook said he wasn’t aware of the app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t heard about it,” Cook said. “But obviously we’ll take a look at it if that’s the case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR also reached out to Google, but the company has not responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple and Google have faced previous controversies over apps in their stores. \u003ca href=\"https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/\">Both stores\u003c/a> have policies \u003ca href=\"https://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy-print/\">banning inappropriate content\u003c/a> such as the promotion of hate speech, graphic violence, bullying and harassment. The companies have \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/document/366675400/12-1-17-Letter-From-Rep-Lieu-to-Tim-Cook\">faced some backlash\u003c/a> over these policies, particularly around how they might impact small businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Begum, of Human Rights Watch, says she can see how the companies might not have initially realized that the app could be used for monitoring women. “It has other services that are quite generic and normal government services,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apple and Google have different systems for flagging inappropriate apps. Apple prescreens apps, and Begum says Google relies on its users to alert it about violations. But, she says, each company needs to boost scrutiny of government-supported apps, especially when they are created by repressive regimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They should consider the human rights implications … especially when it’s offered by a government,” Begun says. “When they’re evaluating whether an app should be allowed … providers really should consider the broader context or the purpose of the app, how it’s being used in practice and whether it’s facilitating abuse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, Absher has also been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/11/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-women-flee.html\">helpful to a some women trying to escape \u003c/a>the repressive Saudi regime. Begum says some women have managed to secretly change the settings in the app on their male guardian’s phone so that it allows them to travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, she says, Google and Apple need to push back against the Saudi government and either disable the app entirely or disable the features that enable men to track women in their families. “By not saying anything, they’ve allowed the government to facilitate the abuse,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter to Google and Apple, Wyden wrote: “It is hardly news that the Saudi monarchy seeks to restrict and repress Saudi women, but American companies should not enable or facilitate the Saudi government’s patriarchy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>When Saudi Arabia started allowing women to drive last month — a historic shift in the last country in the world to ban women from getting behind the wheel — Samah Damanhoori was watching closely from California. The 29-year-old Saudi woman has a lot at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few weeks before the ban was lifted on what was officially known as \"Driving Day,\" June 24, Saudi security officials jailed more than a dozen women activists, some of whom have advocated for the right to drive since the 1990s. In what appeared to be a government-sponsored, front-page smear campaign, Saudi newspapers published the women's names, claiming they were \"traitors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's horrifying and it's very scary, what is happening right now,\" Damanhoori says about the sweeping arrests of activists on unspecific charges. \"We still don't know why, why now, we still don't have clear answers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Damanhoori, the driving reform — something backed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, hailed as a progressive reformer by many supporters — signaled that women drivers and women workers might be part of the kingdom's plan to modernize and diversify the oil-dependent economy. But it went only so far: Saudi Arabia's sweeping guardianship rules remain in place. Every Saudi woman is required to have a male guardian — a husband, uncle, son — who makes major life decisions on her behalf, even if she's an adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damanhoori has been speaking out against the guardianship laws from San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Women cannot study, cannot work, cannot even travel without male permission or a male guardian. It's as simple as that,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she won a Saudi government scholarship for a graduate program at Notre Dame de Namur University in California, her father had to approve her enrollment and her application for a passport. He had to give his consent for her to travel to the U.S. Under Saudi law, called \u003cem>mahram\u003c/em> in Arabic, Damanhoori had to have a male relative accompany her to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says her father accompanied her to California to enroll in her courses and gave permission for her to stay on without a \u003cem>mahram\u003c/em>, but when he got back to Saudi Arabia, she says, he changed his mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wrote about these events in a memoir for her master's thesis, in which she recounts a call she received from the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C.:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>' \"Who is your \u003cem>mahram\u003c/em>?' 'My father,' I said. 'Where is he?' 'Home.' 'Hmmm. Well, Samah, you father called us and asked us to cancel your scholarship because he no longer approves you studying here without a male companion. Is there a conflict between the two of you?' 'Not at all. I don't know why he canceled it since he's the one who brought me here and signed I could be here without a \u003cem>mahram\u003c/em>.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Saudi Embassy did not respond to an NPR request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H-uX0T_Pn4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damanhoori decided to stay in the U.S. and cut family ties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was really hard at the beginning, I lost myself, I lost the ability to form a whole sentence,\" she says, describing those first months after she decided to stay in California against her father's orders. \"I came from a very strict country to a very free country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her father, Sameer Damanhoori, reached by phone in Saudi Arabia, confirmed to NPR that he had canceled his daughter's scholarship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is our custom,\" he said, referring to the rights that he has under the guardianship laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wants his daughter to come home and forget her education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damanhoori's graduate adviser supported her decision to stay in the U.S. and the college helped her find sponsors to pay for tuition and housing. After graduation in 2017, she got a job in high tech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has also applied for political asylum in the U.S. Her asylum claim is that the guardianship system puts her in danger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My story with my father, and — what would happen if I go back to Saudi,\" she says, is the official narrative she submitted to U.S. officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She claims her father has been abusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He denies abusing his daughter, but says if she returns to Saudi Arabia, he will never give permission for her to leave again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damanhoori now sees her role as an outside voice for Saudi women's rights. She gives talks in the Bay Area, uploaded to YouTube to reach an audience back home. She has regained her voice, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The more I spoke up — the more I went in public, all the noises in my head just became lower,\" she says. \"It's really important to speak loud for these women who are being abused, to never give up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women's March Global, a New York City-based international organization that helps amplify women's voices, is \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/womens-march-global/hold-saudi-arabia-accountable-619b3cc8e90b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helping Damanhoori get her message out\u003c/a>. The organization has collected \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/p/united-nations-hold-saudi-arabia-accountable-free-saudi-activists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more than 200,000 signatures\u003c/a> to support the jailed activists in Saudi Arabia and has delivered the petition to the United Nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's important to understand what's she given up to step into this role,\" says executive director Lara Stein. \"But she understands that she's one of the few people that is able to have a voice, and I think at the end of the day, it's a very courageous move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damanhoori recognizes the message of the activists' arrests. New reforms in the kingdom don't include political openings. Critical voices have been silenced. There is still, she says, a long road ahead for women in Saudi Arabia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

The 29-year-old Saudi woman has a lot at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few weeks before the ban was lifted on what was officially known as \"Driving Day,\" June 24, Saudi security officials jailed more than a dozen women activists, some of whom have advocated for the right to drive since the 1990s. In what appeared to be a government-sponsored, front-page smear campaign, Saudi newspapers published the women's names, claiming they were \"traitors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's horrifying and it's very scary, what is happening right now,\" Damanhoori says about the sweeping arrests of activists on unspecific charges. \"We still don't know why, why now, we still don't have clear answers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Damanhoori, the driving reform — something backed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, hailed as a progressive reformer by many supporters — signaled that women drivers and women workers might be part of the kingdom's plan to modernize and diversify the oil-dependent economy. But it went only so far: Saudi Arabia's sweeping guardianship rules remain in place. Every Saudi woman is required to have a male guardian — a husband, uncle, son — who makes major life decisions on her behalf, even if she's an adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damanhoori has been speaking out against the guardianship laws from San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He had to give his consent for her to travel to the U.S. Under Saudi law, called \u003cem>mahram\u003c/em> in Arabic, Damanhoori had to have a male relative accompany her to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says her father accompanied her to California to enroll in her courses and gave permission for her to stay on without a \u003cem>mahram\u003c/em>, but when he got back to Saudi Arabia, she says, he changed his mind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wrote about these events in a memoir for her master's thesis, in which she recounts a call she received from the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C.:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>' \"Who is your \u003cem>mahram\u003c/em>?'
