Madam Chairperson, distinguished delegates, and friends, On behalf of the Asia Pacific Caucus, I would like to bring to your attention that the roots of many manifestations of racism, xenophobia and related intolerance are located in the legacy of colonialism and patriarchy, which created historical and contemporary injustices based on ideologies of superiorities and dominance. Patriarchal social structures continue to reinforce all forms of discrimination against women of all ages. Some of the common causes of racism include globalization, poverty, political and social oppression, ethnic, religious, gender and caste-based discrimination, situations of violence and armed conflict. Problems of gender inequality include : * Racism: Member states should give special attention to the issues of racism, enact legislation and take all other necessary measures to eliminate discrimination within the context of an understanding of all forms of gender based discrimination. In particular, attention should be paid to the impact of racism against in situations of armed conflict, women of ethnic/national minorities, migrant and trafficked women, indigenous women, women of religious groups, caste, refugees and displaced women. * HIV/Aids: Member states should pay special attention to the alarming increase in HIV/Aids among women and girls, both as persons living with Aids and as care givers. Programs should be developed on education, health, empowerment, and social services targeting women as individuals with full dignity and rights rather than as transmitters of the disease to men and children. Education programs on sexuality should also be developed for men to change attitudes and behavior in order to curb the spread of HIV/ Aids. * Gender mainstreaming: Member states should live up to their commitments to mainstream gender perspectives into all policies, legislation, and programs; and to develop gender budgets to support such efforts. Development of gender mainstreaming should include equal numbers of women in planning, decision making, and implementation. Member states should develop and also strengthen local and academic institutions, political parties, employers, NGOs in gender mainstreaming policies and programs which address inequality between men and women, and between women of different groups based on socio-economic class and status. * The Asia Pacific Caucus urges the Member States to ratify the CEDAW and/or to withdraw all reservations. We also urge ratification of its Optional Protocol as soon as possible. * We strongly support the convening of the Fifth World Conference on Women in 2005. Member states should fully involve NGOs in the preparation of the reports and include enough number of NGOs in the government delegations. NGOs should be allowed to participate in the Conference as equal partners of Member States. Thank you for your attention. _________________________________________________________________________ fem-Women2000@jca.apc.org for Women 2000, UN Special Session on Beijing+5 Searcheable Archive http://www.jca.apc.org/fem/news/women2000/index.shtml visit fem-net HomePage for other mailing lists http://www.jca.apc.org/fem
