19. Urges States to design and revise laws that ensure that women are
accorded full and equal rights to own land and other property, including through
inheritance, and to undertake administrative reforms and other necessary measures
to give women the same right as men to credit, capital and appropriate technologies
and access to markets and information;
20. Calls upon Governments to encourage the financial sector to mainstream
gender perspectives in its policies and programmes;
21. Also calls upon Governments to promote, inter alia, through legislation
and family-friendly and gender-sensitive work environments, the facilitation of
breastfeeding for working mothers and the provision of the necessary care for
working women’s children and other dependants and to consider promoting policies
and programmes, as appropriate, to enable men and women to reconcile their work,
social and family responsibilities;
22. Recognizes the need to empower women economically and politically,
particularly poor women, and in this regard encourages Governments, with the
support of their development partners, to invest in appropriate infrastructure and
other projects, as well as to create opportunities for economic empowerment, in
order to alleviate for women and girls the burden of time-consuming everyday tasks;
23. Expresses its concern that the HIV/AIDS pandemic reinforces gender
inequalities, that women and girls bear a disproportionate share of the burden
imposed by the HIV/AIDS crisis, that they are more easily infected, that they play a
key role in care and that they have become more vulnerable to poverty as a result of
the HIV/AIDS crisis;

health by 2015, as set out at the International Conference on Population and

reducing child mortality, promoting gender equality, combating HIV/AIDS and
eradicating poverty;
25. Calls upon the international community to make efforts to mitigate the
effects of excess volatility and economic disruption, which have a
disproportionately negative impact on women, and to enhance trade opportunities
for developing countries in order to improve the economic situation of women;
26. Urges the international community, the United Nations system and
relevant organizations to give priority to assisting the efforts of developing
countries to ensure the full and effective participation of women in deciding and
implementing development strategies and integrating gender concerns into national
programmes, including by providing adequate resources to operational activities for
development in support of the efforts of Governments to ensure full and equal
access of women to health care, capital, education, training and technology, as well
as full and equal participation in all decision-making;
27. Recognizes that a substantial increase in official development assistance
and other resources will be required if developing countries are to achieve the
