What are the challenges that women affected by leprosy face?

In this interview we hear from Dr Joydeepa Darlong about research that was conducted by The Leprosy Mission Trust India.

They worked with women at a variety of life stages to find out what it meant for them to have leprosy, how this affected their lives, and how they coped with the challenges.

Women affected by leprosy face a distinct set of challenges and we hope this interview and the research (awaiting publication) will provide a crucial insight into how their needs can be met and rights rights achieved.
