The General Assembly
Recent Aids awareness issue

The General assembly,

Realizing that all peoples should be able to have acess to health care when they are ill and the liberties to live happily as they are in the world , yet the standards seem to be not met and the general people are not receiving aid for HIV\AIDS, mainly in the African region. Overall the peoples of sub-Saharan Africa aren�t getting what every person is entitled, social progress and better standards of life,

Aware that there are government programs trying to help this issue already, however it seems that education is not reaching the peoples and is sometimes not enough,

I. Expresses Deep Concern

The awful ways of living of those affected with HIV/AIDS are breaking the code of standard living, and are showing how the third world countries of Sub-Saharan Africa;

The short supply and availability for medicine that many people living with HIV/AIDS need, however they are poor and cannot pay market value for the drugs that could save their lives;

The short supplies of condoms and other prevention need to sustain and maintain the number of sexually transmitted diseases, including the number one transmitted, AIDS;

80% of the world�s children orphaned by Aids come from sub-Saharan Africa (www.unaids.com);

Studies have shown that by 2010 there will be approximately 20 million children living in sub-Saharan Africa who have lost at least one parent to HIV\AIDS(www.unaids.com);

Not only in Africa but in other countries including East Asia , the percentages of infected peoples and IV drug users have gone up a tremendous amount;

1% of pregnant women in areas with high percentage rates of infection have access to services aimed to preventing HIV transmissions from mother-to-child;

II. Is Aware That

Realizes that Africa is home to many rural areas where new technology is hard to reach;

Recognizes that the government of Africa is trying its� best to control the spread of this disease;

Health is important to the countries of Africa and that they are trying new programs to lower the cost of medicine for HIV/AIDS;

III. Recommends

That the economic and social councils;

Strongly recommend bringing more education to the rural parts of Africa, mainly to women ages 15-24, who are 2.5 times more likely to be infected then men (www.unaids.org) and the parts of Africa with the highest percentage of infection rate;

Bring more funding for programs that set up stations \ clinics where they can check those for HIV\AIDS, educate the public on safe sex and distribute condoms;

Help to bring more girls into the education system, where as of the 104mil. children not enrolled in primary school, 57% of them are girls (www.unaids.org , Global Coalition on women and AIDS);
Urge the African nations to lower the costs of school so more families can send their girls to school who otherwise fall secondary to the boy children of the house;

Set up special parts of the already existing clinics to mainly monitor and check for HIV\AIDS in pregnant women because in recent studies 1 in 4 pregnant women have contracted HIV\AIDS or will during or after giving birth( www.unaids.com) , which then will be given to the child;

Send more relief funding to the orphanages and hospitals treating AIDS victims.
