What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission to address the phenomenon of young women in particular from Christian minorities being forced to marry older men from outside their religion in certain parts of the world
• Urges governments to pursue development and environmental policies that respect economic, social and cultural rights, and are inclusive of indigenous people and local populations, in line with the UN SDGs
• Welcomes the fact that efforts to advance the rights of women and girls have gained further prominence worldwide; notes, however, that no country in the world has achieved gender equality yet

Quoted from A9-0259/2020, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
