Presenters at the 114th Inter Parliamentary Union (IPU) conference, which ended in Nairobi, Kenya, on Friday, used the meeting as a platform to advocate on behalf of Africa's women and children. Putting children at the centre of the HIV/AIDS agenda was one of the main issues for delegates at the interparliamentary assembly during the six-day conference. The HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to devastate many countries in sub-Sahara Africa, where at least 85 percent of the world's children with HIV/AIDS live.
