In the draft resolution, paragraph 5, replace the first sentence with the following sentence:

"The Assembly is aware that traditional stereotypes regarding male and female roles remain present in all societies."

It can be agreed that stereotypes regarding male and female roles exist.

It cannot be accepted that the school curriculum is responsible for conveying these stereotypes.
