Twenty-one of the women raped were minors between 7 and 12 years old. | Nisy tranganà fanolanana 123 voarakitra, izay nitarika fahafatesana vehivavy 15. Zazavavy tsy ampy taona eo anelanelan'ny 7 sy 12 taona ny iraika amby roapolo tamin'ireo voaolana |
10 | But a case such as this (a group of 30 to 40 young men assaulted and sexually harassed around 20 women at the celebrations) is new for the country. | Fa zava-baovao ho an'ny firenena ny tranga tahaka ity ( vondrona lehilahy 30 ka hatramin'ny 40 no nanafika sy nametaveta vehivavy manodidina ny 20 tamin'ilay fankalazana). |

17 | I forced myself away from him. | Noezahako nahifika izy. |

26 | When I said no he insisted and said it would help me hear all his words. | Rehefa nolaviko izy, dia nisisika ka niteny fa mety hanampy ahy handre ny teniny rehetra izany. |

36 | Then I found out that many in the office, even in the showrooms, had the video on their mobile phones. | Avy eo hitako fa nanana io lahatsary io amin'ny findainy ny maro tao amin'ilay birao, na dia ny any amin'ny trano fampirantiana aza. |

43 | So after their studies they are pressured to marry. | Noho izany dia amporisihina hanambady ry zareo rehefa vita ny fianarany. |
44 | And then after marriage there is the pregnancy and other pressures. | Aorian'ny fanambadiana dia misy ny fitondrana vohoka sy ireo teritery hafa. |
45 | After the child is born women are also expected to take care of the child (not childcare). | Aorian'ny fiterahana dia efa andrasana ihany koa amin'ny fikarakarana zaza ( tsy mpiandry zaza) ny vehivavy. |
46 | Given the pressure of nature, family and society only a few working women can continue with their career. | Noho ny faneren'ny natiora, ny fianakaviana ary ny fiarahamonina dia vitsy foana amin'ny vehivavy miasa no afaka manohy ny asany. |
47 | Working women with less advantages or luck fall behind or bow out. | Mijanona na manaiky tsy sazoka ireo vehivavy miasa tsy mba manana tombontsoa na manam-bintana. |

50 | When I launched the venture I started to face a number of strange obstacles. | Rehefa nirotsaka tamin'ny fandraharahana aho dia nisedra olana maromaro tsy mahazatra. |
51 | Surprisingly, some from my family. | Mahavariana fa avy any amin'ny fianakaviako ny sasany. |
52 | I got the support of my mother and siblings except my father. | Nanohana ahy ny reniko sy ireo iray tampo amiko, afa-tsy ny raiko. |
53 | Objections mainly came from the extended family who mostly posed this question: “You will start a business as a women?” | Avy any amin'ireo lafim-pianakaviana izay nametraka indrindra izao fanontaniana izao ny fanoherana : ” Hanomboka handraharaha amin'ny maha-vehivavy anao ve ianao ?” |
