Experts have said that when U.S. President George W. Bush arrives in Africa next week for a six-day trip to five African countries, he will have to focus on an issue related to security, health, education, hunger, foreign aid and global trade — gender. Of the 30 million people affected by HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, 58 percent are women. Women account for more than 60 percent of the agricultural labour force on the continent and contribute 80 percent of the total food production. In countries facing armed conflicts, experts predict that most of those affected by the war are women and children.
