Adopted

438 in favour · 133 against · 58 abstained. 629 members voted.

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission and the Member States to support single mothers of African, Middle-Eastern, Latin-American and Asian descent in order to ensure their full participation in society
• Welcomes the increasing mention of intersectionality in EU documents, including in the proposal for a pay transparency directive but regrets the lack of clearly defined targets, indicators and actions to implement it
• Underlines the importance of having disability-sensitive policies that take an intersectional approach

Quoted from A9-0190/2022, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
