Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the world. The main people affected by this situation are the women, who have to put up with prevailing male chauvinism in the Madagascan society, some of them suffering abuse and being abandoned by their husbands. Without any economic resources of any kind, they survive on the streets, doing little jobs or thanks to money received from begging by them or their children; in some cases they resort to prostitution.
