in child-headed households, particularly girls, receive the support they need to

situation faced by children and young persons, especially girls, who may be
forced into child labour, including the worst forms of child labour, as a result
of death or illness of family members or caregivers, and to protect these
children and young persons from violence, including gender-based violence,
sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, including commercial sexual exploitation,
trafficking and labour exploitation;
15. Also urges Governments to take measures to integrate, inter alia,
family and community-based approaches in policies and programmes aimed at
providing prevention, treatment, care and support to women and girls living
with or affected by HIV and AIDS;
16. Further urges Governments to ensure, in the context of prevention
programmes for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, accessible and
affordable procurement of safe and effective prevention commodities,
including male and female condoms, post-exposure prophylaxis and, where
applicable, pre-exposure prophylaxis, to ensure that their supply is adequate
and secure, and to promote ongoing research, including that for safe and
effective microbicides;
17.
Urges Governments:
(a) To commit to remove before 2015, where feasible, obstacles that
limit the capacity of low- and middle-income countries to provide affordable
and effective HIV prevention and treatment products, diagnostics, medicines
and commodities and other pharmaceutical products, as well as treatment for
opportunistic infections and co-infections, and to reduce costs associated with
life-long chronic care, including by amending national laws and regulations, as
deemed appropriate by respective Governments, so as to optimize the use, to
the full, of existing flexibilities under the World Trade Organization
Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS
Agreement) specifically geared to promoting access to and trade in medicines,
and, while recognizing the importance of the intellectual property rights
regime in contributing to a more effective AIDS response, ensure that
intellectual property rights provisions in trade agreements do not undermine
these existing flexibilities, as confirmed in the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS
Agreement and Public Health, and call for early acceptance of the amendment
to article 31 of the TRIPS Agreement adopted by the General Council of the
World Trade Organization in its decision of 6 December 2005;
(b) To address barriers, regulations, policies and practices that prevent
access to affordable HIV treatment by promoting generic competition in order
to help reduce costs associated with life-long chronic care and by encouraging
all States to apply measures and procedures for enforcing intellectual property
rights in such a manner as to avoid creating barriers to the legitimate trade in
medicines, and to provide for safeguards against the abuse of such measures
and procedures;
(c) To encourage the voluntary use, where appropriate, of new
mechanisms such as partnerships, tiered pricing, open-source sharing of
