Global Charter of Demands for the AIDS Week 2007

• The establishment and enforcement of progressive legislation that protects the human rights of people living with HIV&AIDS at all levels – eg national, workplace, schools, prisons, and during VCT/PMTCT interventions or following disclosure
• The development and implementation of focused interventions for vulnerable or marginalised groups

• The promotion of rights of women and girls – to education, sexual and reproductive health, land ownership and access to natural resources and livelihoods
• Action, promotion and resource commitment, to the protection of women’s and girls’ human right to live free of violence and sexual coercion, and reduction of women and girls risk of HIV&AIDS
• Investment in the development of female controlled prevention methods such as microbicides, female condoms and post exposure prophylaxis for survivors of rape
• The establishment and delivery of programmes and funds to tackle violence against women
• Mitigation against the greater risk of the spread of HIV& AIDS in conflicts and emergencies especially amongst women as a result of targeted sexual assault and torture

• All health services to be available and accessible to people without regard to whether they are living in urban or rural settings, and regardless of gender, sexuality, religion, nationality or disability status [not an exhaustive list]
• Health care to be free at the point of access and users’ fees for services abolished. Solutions to minimizing the other costs associated with seeking care, including transport, need to be addressed as well
• The development and implementation of plans to recruit, train and retain health care workers
• Increased funding for building health and education infrastructure and capacity both nationally and internationally so countries meet agreed targets such as the Abuja Declaration of 15% of national budgets for health
• HIV programmes are integrated with programmes for TB and other opportunistic infections, to provide the widest access to care possible

• The scale up of  access ARVs with 10 million people worldwide having access to sustainable, quality treatment by 2010
• That public health rights take precedence over pharmaceutical patents through the review and reform of TRIPS rules and support the use of flexibilities within TRIPS to promote greater generic manufacturing
• Improved access to affordable second line drugs.
• Investment in the development and provision of paediatric formulations for children.

• A scale-up of prevention services including but not limited to: HIV testing services, prevention of mother-to-child transmission; harm reduction and substitution services for drug users, condom distribution and promotion and sexuality education for all ages and; post-exposure prophylaxis for survivors of sexual violence
• A framework for regulating the health claims of traditional medicines, alternative treatments and fake cures for HIV&AIDS, so that people do not spend their money on unproven remedies or fail to pursue evidence-based health interventions

• All countries establish national targets for AIDS treatment, prevention and care. These should be ambitious and come as close as possible to achieving universal access by 2010. The targets must be linked to costed operational plans and include meaningful civil society participation and representation

• The G8 and other donors fill the $8-10 billion annual funding gap and provide additional, sustained, predictable and full funding of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, through donor’s fair share contributions
• Cancel the debts of the world's poorest countries in full, by fair and transparent means, allowing countries to divert resources towards HIV&AIDS priorities

• Funders stop imposing harmful conditions, such as limiting HIV prevention funding to abstinence only programmes or blocking support to programmes targeting sex workers, that are not based on evidence of what works and fail to address gendered realities
