"Run & Bike" is a solidarity race created and organised by TAO Association, with whom Antsaly Rajoelina is working closely for her Beauty With A Purpose.

She was the ambassador of the 2nd edition and is still the ambassador of the 3rd edition of "Run & Bike". She especially stressed the importance of raising awareness among our own entourage.

"I am eager to talk about sexual abuse here in Madagascar as it is taboo. So just to give you some figures, nearly a thousand of children are raped each year since 2020. Most of these cases of sexual violence are found in a household and are made by a close family member and that’s only the ones that had been reported. Besides all these statisics, my project is actually important and close to me as I was that little girl who went through it and back in time, my tears were silenced and i was the one to blame. Imagine how many children here are suffering from sexual abuse and not be able to have its say ?" said Antsaly Rajoelina during her speech.

She is thanking TAO Association again for choosing her to be the Ambassador of this year’s "Run & Bike" edition ! It’s still a long way to go we can do it together.
