"Women are infected more easily than men, and they are the ones that carry the burden of caring for the sick," said Anne-Marie Helland, special advisor for social and political rights with Norwegian Church Aid. "This is why it's so important that women are involved in the process to decide the direction in which we shall continue in the fight against HIV and AIDS," she added.
