[Towards a line of action]
Abstract
PIP: The principal lines of act0ion contained in the Declaration of the 1995 International Conference on Population and Development in regard to the demographic situation, women, health, reproductive and sexual health, and family planning are synthesized in this work. The 114 pages and 16 chapters in the Declaration were approved by the 300 representatives of 170 countries. This work lists the major points of Chapter 4 on gender, equity, and the capacity of women for self-determination; chapter 5 on roles, rights, structure and composition of the family; and chapter 6 on population growth and structure, with particular attention to children and youth, the elderly, indigenous peoples, and the handicapped. For chapter 7, on reproductive rights and reproductive health, the two terms were defined and their components listed, after which the main proposals concerning family planning, sexually transmitted diseases, prevention of HIV infection, human sexuality and gender, and adolescents were outlined. The topics considered in chapter 8 on health, morbidity, and mortality included primary health care and the health sector, child survival, women's health and maternity without risks, and HIV infection and AIDS.
