This book is about the effects of AIDS on women and food security in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. AIDS is more than a health problem. Rural households and women in particular have to cope with the lack of labour in agriculture which threatens their food security.

Contributors not content with silent acquiescence have shown the courage to oppose a harmful practice that continues to plague women of African descent sentenced to a life of suffering through a damaging tradition.
