Adds concerns about women's sports and Syrian women's security under the new regime. Softens the foreign policy commitment by dropping 'feminist' and gender-transformative language. Removes the promotion of safe migration pathways, focusing only on labour migration policies. The only formal change is a punctuation correction.

The report expands the scope to girls and adds universal principle, education, and stronger commitment language. Recitals are reorganized: new ones on data framework and gender mainstreaming replace earlier ones on SDG indicators and backlash. Recommendations are greatly expanded with new calls on Saudi Arabia, UN Women, WPS, intersectionality, and many specific policy areas. An explanatory section is added to justify the recommendation.
