as effective domestic enforcement procedures through the establishment of
monitoring mechanisms involving all parties concerned, including consultations
with women’s organizations, giving attention to the recommendations relating to the
girl child of the Special Rapporteurs of the Human Rights Council on violence
against women, its causes and consequences, and on trafficking in persons,
especially women and children, and of the Special Representative of the
Secretary-General on Violence against Children;
28. Also urges States to ensure that the right of children to express
themselves and to participate in all matters affecting them, in accordance with their
age and maturity, is fully and equally enjoyed by girls;
29. Further urges States to involve girls, including girls with special needs,
and their representative organizations, in decision-making processes, as appropriate,
and to include them as full and active partners in identifying their own needs and in
developing, planning, implementing and assessing policies and programmes to meet
those needs;
30. Recognizes that a considerable number of girl children are particularly
vulnerable, including orphans, children living on the street, internally displaced and
refugee children, children affected by trafficking and sexual and economic
exploitation, children living with or affected by HIV and AIDS, and children who
are incarcerated who live without parental support, and therefore urges States, with
the support of the international community, where relevant, to take appropriate
measures to address the needs of such children by implementing national policies
and strategies to build and strengthen governmental, community and family
capacities to provide a supportive environment for such children, including by
providing appropriate counselling and psychosocial support, and ensuring their
enrolment in school and access to shelter, good nutrition and health and social
services on an equal basis with other children;
31. Encourages States to promote actions, including through bilateral and
multilateral technical cooperation and financial assistance, for the social
reintegration of children in difficult situations, in particular girls, considering,
inter alia, views, skills and capacities that those children have developed in the
conditions in which they lived and, where appropriate, with their meaningful
participation;
32. Urges all States and the international community to respect, promote and
protect the rights of the girl child, taking into account the particular vulnerabilities
of the girl child in pre-conflict, conflict and post-conflict situations, as well as in
other humanitarian emergencies, and further urges States to take special measures
for the protection of girls, in particular to protect them from sexually transmitted
infections, including HIV infection, gender-based violence, including rape, sexual
abuse and sexual exploitation, torture, abduction and forced labour, paying special
attention to refugee and displaced girls, and to take into account their special needs
in the delivery of humanitarian assistance and disarmament, demobilization,
rehabilitation assistance and reintegration processes;
33. Deplores all cases of sexual exploitation and abuse of women and
children, especially girls, in humanitarian crises, including those cases involving
humanitarian workers and peacekeepers, and urges States to take effective measures
to address gender-based violence in humanitarian emergencies and to make all
possible efforts to ensure that their laws and institutions are adequate to prevent,
promptly investigate and prosecute acts of gender-based violence;
