Andraina is a 17-year-old Malagasy woman. Currently in her senior year, she is an ambassador for the Miralenta project co-financed by AFD and the European Union. In this context, Andraina carries out with the children’s club of Antsirabe actions of awareness, mobilization and advocacy on the prevention of gender-based violence (including child sexual abuse and exploitation) with young people, communities, state authorities and actors of child protection.
Through this project, ECPAT France and its partners aim to strengthen Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Madagascar and the youth representation bodies so that they are able to challenge state authorities in the fight against violence against women. The Miralenta project implements two main axes: the mobilization of children’s and youth clubs on the issue of violence against girls and the support of community associations or initiatives, including groups of men, to commit against violence against girls.
