What is the first thing that comes to mind, if you were ever asked to define a beauty pageant? A competition that has traditionally focused on judging and ranking the physical attributes of the contestants? An organized display of young women like newly designed season apparels or maybe a sham were vulnerable, naive, passionate, young women seeking to express and showcase their talents get all dreams and aspirations shattered and realize you have nothing more than a sash title, a crown, if you’re lucky, regrets and lessons!

Most pageants have proved to everyone that they turn sweet, innocent young girls into crazy, competitive beings, getting dressed up and being judged on how pretty or ugly they are, young girls become insecure and it causes them to become obsessed with their appearance and later suffer from anxiety, eating disorders, depression, etc. Mental health experts emphasize the fact these platforms have the effect of sexualizing girls. In other words, the stereotyped thinking that females as sexual objects is detrimental to societal morals and values. Truly what are the values that are being communicated by these platforms?
