May 22, 2010

Miss Pakistan World 2009 Ayesha Gilani has won the 'Beauty of Asia 2010' title in the Beauty of the World 2010 international pageant. Competing with 55 nations, Gilani won the continental title of Beauty of Asia 2010 in Qindao, China. The winner of the Miss Pakistan World 2009 pageant and current reigning queen, Gilani represented Pakistan for the first time. She acquired the titles of Miss Pakistan Earth 2009, Miss Tourism Queen International Pakistan 2009 and finally Beauty of Pakistan 2010.

The Miss Pakistan World pageant founded by Sonia Ahmed, when she was in the University of Ottawa studying Business, has been a start for a deep rooted change for Pakistan. The pageant brought young Pakistani women from around the world to compete for what could be considered the most controversial crown in the pageant world: Pakistan’s slow changing movement to liberate its women.

Ahmed comments, “Pakistani women have always felt compelled to stay in the background. They have never had the same opportunities to create a voice and stand for what they believe in. It was only after living in Canada that I realized that women really do have the power to make a difference and make a change. Change is very important and tolerance is important too, in regards to having a healthy and prosperous community.”
