This is amazing. Thank you for profiling her here. I do think it is a great accomplishment to be the first Pakistani woman to ever win an international title. And you know, she did it all purely for political reasons, meaning to make a bold political statement to the world on what Pakistan is and should be all about. We are so very proud of her and her boldness.
Don’t you have to be married to win these?
very nice. yes, i think there are different categories like miss, ms, mrs, 50+, and mr.
so all women can apply and even men can apply.
