Reversing the Impact of HIV & AIDS on Women & Girls: Balancing the Scale Folashade .A. Bamigboye. Programme Manager, Kids & Teens Resource Centre, Nigeria +2348035077737

Objectives To showcase the workload between men and women To ensure that Men are willing to play complementary roles to share in the care and support for persons living with HIV.

Introduction By virtue of biological makeup and nature, women and girls are disproportionately vulnerable to HIV (In sub-Saharan Africa, women acquire HIV five to seven years earlier than men). Incidentally they are the champions for impact mitigation interventions and unfortunately the poorest economically. Women account for two thirds of all caregivers for people living with HIV in Africa; women also comprise 70% of the world’s poor and two-thirds of the world’s illiterate. (UNAIDS 2008: Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic, Executive Summary).

What can women and girls do to contribute more actively to HIV response? What complementary roles can men play to share the care and support responsibilities

Why women and girls carry the burden Gender-inequality drives HIV & AIDS Weak public health systems Societal norms and custom Community & home based care in response to HIV & AIDS Policies that do not translate into action

Balancing the Scale Greater involvement of men and boys in delivering home and community based care; Strengthening public health systems. End all forms of gender-based violence Keep girls in school Empower young women and girls, challenge and change social norms
