reproductive health, and through preventive education that promotes gender
equality;

that place individuals at risk for HIV infection, such as risky and unsafe behaviour
and injecting drug use;
(e) To promote initiatives aimed at reducing the prices of antiretroviral
drugs, especially second-line drugs, available to boys and girls, including bilateral
and private sector initiatives, as well as initiatives on a voluntary basis taken by
groups of States, including those based on innovative financing mechanisms that
contribute to the mobilization of resources for social development, especially those
that aim to provide further access to drugs at affordable prices to children in
developing countries on a sustainable and predictable basis, and in this regard takes
note of the International Drug Purchase Facility, UNITAID;
(f) To design and implement programmes to provide social services and

Right to food

including through the adoption or strengthening of national programmes to address
food security and adequate livelihoods, as well as nutritional security, especially
regarding vitamin A, iron and iodine deficiencies, the promotion of breastfeeding, as
well as programmes (for example, for school meals) that should ensure adequate
nutrition for all children;
Promoting and protecting the rights of children, including children in
particularly difficult situations
28. Calls upon all States to prevent violations of the rights of children
working and/or living on the street, including discrimination, arbitrary detention and
extrajudicial, arbitrary or summary executions, torture and all kinds of violence and
exploitation, and to bring the perpetrators to justice, to adopt and implement policies
for the protection, social and psychosocial rehabilitation and reintegration of those
children and to adopt economic, social and educational strategies to address the
problems of children working and/or living on the street;
29. Also calls upon all States to protect refugee, asylum-seeking and
internally displaced children, taking into account their gender-specific needs, in
particular those who are unaccompanied, who are particularly exposed to violence
and risks in connection with armed conflict, such as recruitment, sexual violence
and exploitation, stressing the need for States as well as the international community
to continue to pay more systematic and in-depth attention to the special assistance,
protection and development needs of those children through, inter alia, programmes
aimed at rehabilitation and physical and psychological recovery, and to programmes
for voluntary repatriation and, where appropriate and feasible, local integration and
resettlement, to give priority to family tracing and family reunification and, where
appropriate, to cooperate with international humanitarian and refugee organizations,
including by facilitating their work;
