Motion for a resolution
Recital B

B. whereas women and girls are particularly affected by violence, poverty, armed conflicts ~~and the impact of the climate emergency~~; whereas there is a growing global trend towards authoritarianism and an increasing number of fundamentalist groups, both of which are clearly linked to a backlash against women’s ~~and LGBTIQ+~~ rights; whereas any understanding of security that focuses on States rather than human beings is defective and will not lead to peace;

Motion for a resolution
Recital C

C. whereas countries such as Sweden, France, Canada and Mexico have recently adopted and implemented frameworks to advance towards a feminist foreign policy; whereas a policy of this type questions the existing balance of power and aims to define its interactions with other States and movements in a manner that, firstly, gives priority to gender equality, protects and promotes the human rights of women and other traditionally marginalised groups; secondly, aims to guarantee their fair access to social, economic and political resources and their participation at all levels; thirdly, allocates significant resources to achieve that vision and seeks through its implementation to disrupt male-dominated power structures across all of its levels of influence; and finally, is informed by the voices of women human rights defenders and civil society; whereas any future EU foreign and security policy should aim to achieve these goals;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Recital L

L. whereas only one third of all EU Delegations work on the rights of LGBTIQ+ people; whereas the EU’s LGBTIQ+ Guidelines are not being applied uniformly and their implementation depends strongly on the knowledge and interest of the Delegations’ leadership instead of respecting a structural approach;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5

5. “Stresses the need to ensure continued commitment at the highest political levels to the implementation of GAP III; requests that GAP III specify that 85 % of official development assistance (ODA) should go to programmes which have gender equality as a significant or as a principal objective, and that, within this broader commitment, 20 % of ODA should be allocated to programmes with gender equality~~, including SRHR, as a principal objective~~; calls for further targeted actions to achieve gender equality; calls, furthermore, for the new plan to strengthen qualitative analyses and to move beyond the ‘box ticking’ logic to assess the real impact of such programmes in advancing gender equality;
