2 E/CN.6/2008/L.5/REV1 Deeply concerned that the global HIV/AIDS pandemic disproportionately affects women and girls and that the majority of new HIV infections occur among young people, Deeply concerned also by the increased risk of HIV/AIDS facing women and girls with disabilities from, inter alia, social, legal and economic inequalities, sexual and gender-based violence, discrimination and violations of their rights Concerned that the vulnerability of women and girls to HIV/AIDS is increased by their unequal legal, economic and social status, including poverty as well as other cultural and physiological factors, violence against women and girls and adolescents, early marriage, forced marriage, premature and early sexual relations, sexual exploitation, including for commercial purposes, trafficking and female genital mutilation, Also concerned that HIV infection rates are at least twice as high among young people, especially young and married women, who do not finish primary school as among those who do, Further concerned that women and girls are more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS and have different and unequal access to the use of health resources for the prevention, treatment care and support of HIV/AIDS, Stressing with deep concern that the HIV/AIDS pandemic, with its devastating scale and impact on women and girls, requires urgent action in all fields and at all levels, Stressing that gender equality and the legal, political, social and economic empowerment of women and girls are fundamental elements in the reduction of their vulnerability to HIV/AIDS and are essential to reversing the pandemic, Expressing its concern that the HIV/AIDS pandemic reinforces gender inequalities, that women and girls are disproportionately affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis, that they are more easily infected, that they bear the disproportionate burden to care for and support those infected and affected by the disease and that they become more vulnerable to poverty as a result of the HIV/AIDS crisis, 1. Reaffirms the need for Governments, supported by the relevant actors, including civil society and the private sector, to intensify national efforts and international cooperation in the implementation of the commitments contained in the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, 5 and the Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS 6, the Beijing Platform for Action 2 and the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development; 4 2.

Urges Governments to strengthen initiatives that would increase the capacities of women and adolescent girls to protect themselves from the risk of HIV infection, principally through the provision of health care and health services, including for sexual and reproductive health, in accordance with the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population 4 and Development, and that integrate HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support and include voluntary counselling and testing, and through prevention education that promotes gender equality within a culturally and gender-sensitive framework; 10.
