Paragraph 5

5. Stresses the crucial role of women in cases of forced displacement, not only as they are more vulnerable to certain abuse, but also because of the role they play in responding to emergencies, their socioeconomic contributions and their active participation in conflict resolution and prevention; notes that a focus on women’s empowerment is therefore necessary to address the deeper causes of forced displacement; reiterates the importance of adding a gender perspective to the EU policies addressing movements of migrants and refugees;(Does not affect the English version.)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8

8. Underlines that the resettlement of forcibly displaced persons is a responsibility of the international community; considers it crucial to implement as a matter of urgency a coordinated response in third countries to grant asylum for people in need of international protection, instead of leaving the burden on the front-line states or countries neighbouring conflict zones; highlights the fact that financial support is outpaced by the scope and scale of displacement, compounded by the lack of solutions to address the root causes of this forced displacement;(Does not affect the English version.)
