C. Women and health 19. All the items in this section should be updated to reflect accurately the language from the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development 61/ and the Fourth World Conference on Women Platform for Action. 59/ 20. All relevant parts of the Platform for Action need to be implemented at all levels. 21. All relevant actors throughout the United Nations, including the Department for Economic and Social Information and Policy Analysis, the United Nations Population Fund and the Centre for Human Rights need to be involved in the implementation. 22. The gender aspects of AIDS should be better integrated into United Nations activities. The heavy burden of care that is often placed on caregivers, in particular women, needs to be addressed. 23. The general comments need to avoid duplication of activity. It should be recognized, however, that more than one actor will have an interest in each area. 24. The involvement of men needs to be further addressed, as does the encouragement of men and women to take responsibility for their sexual and reproductive behaviour. 25. The need to integrate education on reproductive and sexual health, including family planning, into all population and development programmes should be addressed. 26. Insufficient consideration has been given to the issue of women and health and to the activities proposed to deal with the graver problems of the health of women and girls. High priority should be given to eliminating the major causes of death in women and girls. 27. References to equality in the utilization of health care should be understood to mean provision in response to need because women often make greater use of health-care services; the need for equality of access to health care should be reaffirmed. D. Violence against women 28. Actions contained in the system-wide medium-term plan in relation to strategic objective D.3 (Eliminate trafficking in women and assist victims of violence due to prostitution and trafficking) of the Platform for Action are very limited, as is the list of organizations involved. 61/ Report of the International Conference on Population and Development, Cairo, 5-13 September 1994 (United Nations publication, Sales No. E.95.XIII.18), chap. I, resolution 1, annex. -42-
